Ingredients for Betty Crocker 1950S Easy Scrambled Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • Milk
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Oregano

How to Make Betty Crocker 1950S Easy Scrambled Eggs

  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of milk or water.
  2. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Gently whisk the eggs with a fork until light and slightly frothy.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. (The pan is ready when the butter is melted and foamy, but not browned).
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Immediately reduce the heat to low.
  6. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges start to set.
  7. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center of the pan, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. Continue gently pushing and tilting the pan, cooking the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly moist and glossy (about 5-7 minutes). Avoid overcooking!
  9. Once cooked, quickly transfer the scrambled eggs to a warm plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
