#### **5. Serve Immediately**
– Scrambled eggs cook quickly, so once they reach your desired consistency, remove them from the heat immediately. They will continue cooking in the residual heat of the pan, so avoid overcooking them. Serve your perfect scrambled eggs hot with a side of toast, avocado, or fresh herbs.

### **Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs**
1. **Low Heat is Key:** High heat can turn eggs rubbery and dry. Cooking on low heat gives the eggs time to set without overcooking.
2. **Use a Nonstick Pan:** A nonstick skillet makes it easier to stir and ensures the eggs slide right out of the pan without sticking.
3. **Don’t Overcrowd the Pan:** If making more than two servings, cook the eggs in batches to maintain a smooth cooking process.
4. **Add Cream for Extra Smoothness:** Adding a little milk or cream helps achieve a creamier texture.
5. **Customize Your Scramble:** Experiment with ingredients like cheese, herbs, or even sautéed mushrooms for a personalized twist on your scrambled eggs.

### **Common Mistakes to Avoid**
1. **Overcooking:** It’s easy to overcook scrambled eggs, resulting in a dry texture. Remove them from the heat as soon as they’re cooked through but still slightly creamy.
2. **Using High Heat:** Cooking on high heat may seem faster, but it leads to uneven cooking and tough eggs. Patience is key!
3. **Under-Whisking:** Make sure to beat the eggs well. This helps create light, fluffy curds when cooked.
4. **Not Seasoning Early Enough:** For the best flavor, season your eggs while you whisk them so the seasoning is evenly distributed.
