How to Make The Best Scrambled Eggs

  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a medium bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of milk (or cream for extra richness) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk vigorously with a wire whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. The butter should be melted but not browned.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
  6. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges begin to set.
  7. Gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. Continue cooking, gently pushing the edges toward the center, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to allow the residual heat to finish cooking the eggs.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
