Scrambled Eggs

by Rebecca December 12, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Total Time: 15 mins | Yield: 2 Servings

Nothing beats hot scrambled eggs in the morning! I know you probably have a recipe for scrambled eggs, but you have to consider this one! The key to cooking the best-scrambled eggs is to cook them over low heat. Let them form soft curds and immediately remove them from the heat. You will learn more about it once you read all the steps! You will only need 5 basic ingredients for this recipe. In just 15 minutes, breakfast will surely be amazing. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Shredded cheese optional

2 teaspoons butter

1 tablespoon milk

Salt & Pepper to taste

4 large Eggs

Directions:

Add milk, eggs, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well blended.

Place a large nonstick skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low. Add butter and allow it to melt.

Add the egg mixture into the hot skillet and spread it evenly. Leave it to set, then add cheese if you like. Once they form soft curds, immediately remove them from the heat.

Transfer the eggs onto a clean serving plate.

Serve hot. Enjoy!

Notes:

I highly suggest adding freshly chopped herbs for more flavors! You can add cilantro, parsley, basil, or chives!

Picco de Gallo, salsa, and hot sauce are great additions as well!

Adding shredded cheese makes the scrambled eggs creamy!

I highly recommend serving them right away for the best experience.

For a complete meal, try serving these eggs with crispy bacon, sausage, coffee, rice, and bread!

It is important to beat the eggs well before cooking them.

Make sure to cook the eggs over medium-low heat. Do not go higher than that.
