Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Servings: 1–2

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

---

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for creaminess)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 tbsp butter

---

Instructions

1. Whisk the eggs
   Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk or cream (if using), a pinch of salt, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

2. Heat the pan
   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and let it melt gently without browning.

3. Cook slowly
   Pour in the eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edges toward the center.

4. Keep them soft
   Continue stirring occasionally. Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly glossy—they’ll finish cooking from residual heat.

5. Season and serve
   Add black pepper and adjust salt if needed. Serve immediately.
