*How to Cook Scrambled Eggs Perfectly Every Time** Scrambled eggs are one of the most beloved breakfast dishes around the world. Whether you’re making them for a lazy Sunday brunch or as a quick weekday meal, there’s nothing more satisfying than perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. But achieving that light, fluffy, and creamy texture isn’t always easy. If you’ve ever ended up with dry, rubbery eggs, don’t worry—you’re not alone! With a few simple tips and tricks, you can master scrambled eggs that are soft, tender, and delicious every time. — ### **What Makes Perfect Scrambled Eggs?** Perfect scrambled eggs should be creamy and moist, with small, tender curds. The key is to cook them gently and avoid overcooking. Here are the essential elements to keep in mind: 1. **Fresh Eggs:** Fresh eggs will yield better texture and flavor. 2. **Low and Slow Cooking:** Cooking eggs on low heat allows them to cook evenly and prevent overcooking. 3. **Proper Whisking:** Whisking eggs thoroughly ensures even cooking and helps create a fluffier texture. 4. **Creamy Finish:** Adding a touch of cream or butter enhances the texture and richness of the eggs. — ### **Ingredients for Scrambled Eggs** – 4 large eggs – 2 tbsp butter (or cream for extra richness) – Salt, to taste – Freshly ground pepper, to taste – Optional: A splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess – Optional: Fresh herbs or cheese for added flavor

– Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for a few moments without stirring. As the eggs begin to set at the edges, gently stir with a silicone spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan.
– Continue stirring gently, letting the eggs cook slowly. Be patient—the goal is to allow the eggs to cook evenly and avoid the temptation to turn up the heat. Stir occasionally for soft, creamy curds.
