Classic Scrambled Eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Crack the Eggs into a Mixing Bowl. Add the Milk or Heavy Cream, Salt, and a pinch of Black Pepper. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture looks slightly frothy. Don't skip the whisking — it's what makes the Eggs fluffy.

2. 2

   Place a Skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the Butter and let it melt slowly, swirling to coat the pan. The Butter should foam gently — if it browns immediately, the pan is too hot. Reduce the heat.

3. 3

   Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20–30 seconds, until the edges just begin to set.

4. 4

   Using a Spatula, gently push and fold the Eggs from the edges toward the center in slow, sweeping motions. Continue folding every 10–15 seconds, letting the Eggs set briefly between each fold. Avoid constant stirring — you want large, soft curds, not fine crumbles.

5. 5

   When the Eggs look about 90% set — still slightly glossy and just a little wet on top — remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them to perfection. Overcooked Eggs turn rubbery, so err on the side of pulling them early.

6. 6

   Slide the Eggs onto a warm plate. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little more Salt if needed. Garnish with fresh Chives if desired, and serve immediately.
