Description
Fluffy scrambled eggs are soft, creamy, and perfectly fluffy, made with a few simple ingredients and cooked gently for a light and airy texture. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley for garnish)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. If using milk or cream, add it at this point for fluffier eggs.
- Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the eggs and whisk to incorporate the seasoning.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for a few seconds. Then gently stir with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly and softly. Keep stirring gently, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Once the eggs are almost fully cooked but still a bit runny, remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs, leaving them creamy and fluffy.
- Transfer the eggs to plates, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: Scrambled eggs are best eaten immediately, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Reheating: Gently reheat scrambled eggs in a nonstick pan over low heat, adding a splash of milk or butter to keep them moist.
- For fluffier eggs, cook them over low heat and stir gently but consistently.
- For a richer flavor, use cream instead of milk, or add a little cheese just before finishing cooking.
