Creamy fluffy scrambled eggs (Printable Version)

Create perfectly creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs in just 10 minutes using simple techniques for the ultimate breakfast experience.

# What You Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs

→ Dairy

02 - 2 tbsp whole milk or cream
03 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter

→ Seasonings

04 - 1/4 tsp salt
05 - 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Pour in milk or cream, then add salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully incorporated and the mixture appears slightly frothy.
02 - Place unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet and set over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and wait for gentle bubbling to begin before adding eggs.
03 - Pour the seasoned egg mixture into the warm skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for just a few seconds until you notice the outer edges beginning to set and turn opaque.
04 - Using a heat-resistant spatula, gently push the cooked portions from the outer edges toward the center of the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly to allow uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces.
05 - Continue cooking while stirring gently and sporadically. Remove the pan from heat when the eggs appear just set but still retain a glossy, moist appearance. The residual heat will complete the cooking process.
06 - Transfer the scrambled eggs to warm plates and serve right away while they maintain their optimal creamy texture.
