2. Use Low Heat

Place a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over low heat.

Add butter and let it melt slowly—don’t let it brown.

3. Cook Slowly, Stir Constantly

Pour in eggs. Let sit 5 seconds, then stir gently with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon.

Keep stirring in slow, sweeping motions—lifting and folding the eggs as they set.

Do not walk away—this takes 3–5 minutes total.

✨ Key: Remove from heat when eggs still look slightly wet—they’ll keep cooking off the burner.

4. Finish Off Heat

Once eggs are mostly set but still glossy, remove pan from heat.

Keep stirring 10–15 seconds more—the residual heat will finish them perfectly.

Season with pepper and fresh herbs.

5. Serve Immediately

Plate right away! Scrambled eggs wait for no one.

🧈 Butter vs. Oil? Milk or No Milk?

Choice

Effect

Butter

Rich flavor, creamy texture

Olive oil

Lighter taste, dairy-free option

Milk/Cream

Adds fluffiness (but can dilute flavor)

Water

Creates steam = lighter curds

No liquid

Denser, richer eggs (chef’s preference)

📌 Chef’s tip: Many top chefs skip milk—eggs + salt + butter is all you need.

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

High heat: Causes rubbery, dry eggs

Over-stirring: Creates tiny, grainy curds

Under-seasoning: Eggs need salt to shine

Walking away: They go from perfect to overcooked in seconds

Adding cheese too early: It clumps—stir in at the end

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

On toasted sourdough with avocado

With smoked salmon and chives

In a breakfast burrito with salsa

Alongside roasted tomatoes and spinach

Classic: Buttered toast + hot coffee
