Scrambled Eggs

Tips

Use fresh eggs: For the best-tasting scrambled eggs, use fresh eggs that are less than a week old.

Don’t overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs can make them tough and rubbery. Whisk them just enough to combine the yolks and whites.

Add milk or cream: Adding a small amount of milk or cream to the eggs can make them creamy and delicious.

Use a non-stick pan: Using a non-stick pan can help prevent the eggs from sticking and make them easier to cook and stir.

Cook over low heat: Cooking the eggs over low heat can help prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.

Stir frequently: Stirring the eggs frequently with a spatula can help ensure that they cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.

Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and cheeses to create your own unique scrambled egg recipe.

Don’t overcook the eggs: Overcooked scrambled eggs can be dry and unappetizing. Remove them from the heat just before they are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook a bit more as they sit in the pan.

Add toppings: Top the scrambled eggs with chopped herbs, grated cheese, hot sauce, or any other toppings you like.

Serve immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served immediately, while they are still hot and creamy. Enjoy them with buttered toast and fresh fruit for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
