How to Make Scrambled Eggs

Creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs

Quick Answer

Low heat, constant stirring, remove from heat just before fully set. The residual heat finishes cooking.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Crack and Whisk

Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl. Whisk vigorously with a fork until completely blended.

💡Add a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess.
2

Heat Pan Low

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick pan over low heat. Low is the secret to creamy eggs.

💡If butter sizzles loudly, your heat is too high.
3

Stir Constantly

Pour in eggs and stir constantly with a spatula, scraping the bottom. Form soft curds.

💡Keep the eggs moving! Don't let them sit.
4

Remove Early

Remove from heat when eggs look slightly underdone. They'll finish cooking from residual heat.

💡Season with salt and pepper at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my eggs rubbery?

Heat too high or cooked too long. Use low heat and remove from pan before fully set.

Should I add salt before or after cooking?

After cooking is best. Adding salt before can make eggs watery.
