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

  1. 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.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the eggs and whisk to incorporate the seasoning.
  3. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
