Simple Scrambled Eggs

A basic recipe for preparing scrambled eggs.
Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes
Servings: 2 people
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

Eggs
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk optional
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until the yolks and whites are combined.
  2. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring, until the edges begin to set.
  4. Gently push the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
  5. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly wet. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

Notes

Serve immediately. You can add cheese, vegetables, or herbs to the eggs before cooking for added flavor.
