How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs Every Time: Soft, Creamy & Delicious!
### Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Scrambled Eggs
1. **Crack and whisk:** Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously until the whites and yolks are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. This incorporates air, making the eggs fluffy.
2. **Add a splash of milk or cream:** This step is optional but recommended for extra creaminess.
3. **Heat your pan:** Use a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add a generous pat of butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
4. **Pour in the eggs:** Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
5. **Gently stir:** Using a spatula, slowly and gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Avoid vigorous stirring to keep the curds soft.
6. **Cook low and slow:** Keep the heat low to prevent overcooking. Remove the eggs from heat when they are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
7. **Season at the end:** Add salt and pepper just before serving. Adding salt too early can break down the eggs and make them watery.
### Tips for Extra Flavor and Texture
* Add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for a bright flavor.
* Mix in cheese—cheddar, feta, or cream cheese—for gooey, melty goodness.
* Try a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika for a twist.
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
* Cooking over high heat: This makes eggs tough and rubbery.
* Over-stirring: Constant stirring breaks up the curds and can dry the eggs out.
* Adding salt too early: This can cause watery eggs.
