Description
A simple and delicious recipe for creamy scrambled eggs, cooked gently on the stovetop with butter and seasoned to perfection. Optional add-ins like cheese or vegetables can be incorporated for extra flavor and nutritional boost.
Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 4 large fresh eggs
Butter and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
- 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers or spinach)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and tools including a bowl, whisk, spatula, and a non-stick skillet. Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the sea salt.
- Whisk: Beat the eggs vigorously until they are fully blended and fluffy, ensuring air is incorporated for a light texture.
- Heat Pan: Place the skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter gently without letting it brown to keep the flavor delicate.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the eggs to begin setting on the bottom.
- Stir and Scramble: Using a spatula, gently fold and stir the eggs with slow, careful motions to form soft curds. Continue to cook until the eggs are creamy and slightly runny—then promptly remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs immediately onto plates. Optionally, season with freshly cracked black pepper and add your choice of cheese or vegetables if using.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook on medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from drying out or browning.
- Remove eggs from heat while slightly runny, as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
- Customize with your favorite cheeses or vegetables for added nutrition and taste.
- Use a non-stick skillet and a rubber spatula for best results and easy scrambling.
