Perfect Soft Scrambled Eggs

People always ask how I get my scrambled eggs to be so soft and fluffy. “Do you add milk or cream to them?” I always answer with a big NO. You don’t need anything other than eggs, a good nonstick pan, and a lot of patience. The most important thing, however, is to cook the eggs over low heat while stirring gently and frequently. Follow my simple recipe and you’ll have perfect scrambled eggs for your next breakfast!

Recipe
Yield: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
4 large eggs
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
1. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
2. Crack eggs into a bowl and poke yolks with a fork. (This helps to blend the yolks and whites together faster without over beating the eggs.) Use fork to beat eggs just until yolks and whites are blended. Don’t beat eggs to the point where they become frothy.
3. Pour eggs into pan. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir eggs every 5 to 10 seconds. The idea is to constantly turn the eggs so they cook evenly throughout. Continue to cook over low heat.
4. When eggs begin to slightly thicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Once eggs are no longer runny, but still very moist, remove from heat and serve immediately.

  1. Great Tips on the eggs!! It’s Andy’s favorite to have for breakfast but I never knew the tip about poking the yoke before you scramble and I normally add the seasoning while I’m whipping the eggs. I’ll give it a try this weekend.

  2. This your nephew’s favorite food in the world. I actually have to limit how many eggs he can have in a week! When I saw your eggs, I instantly had a craving and had to make some. I’m normally an “over easy” girl, but your eggs had my mouth watering!

    • Aww, yes, I know it’s his favorite. But you have to add a little fish sauce with the eggs and serve with rice. That’s what we used to feed him when he was little :)

      Try the eggs soft scrambled this weekend!
