How to Make Proper Scrambled Eggs

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Once the butter is melted and foamy, pour in 6 large eggs.
  3. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the outside towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Continue this process, gently stirring and pushing the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly moist. The goal is creamy, not dry, scrambled eggs.
  5. Remove from heat just before the eggs reach your desired consistency. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs slightly.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
