How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs

These soft, creamy Scrambled Eggs are made with a few eggs, a bit of cream, salt and pepper, and melted butter. With a few simple techniques you can make these perfect. fluffy eggs every single time.

Why You'll Love this Scrambled Egg Recipe:

• They're extra creamy from the cream and melted butter.
• Tender, fluffy curds. Never rubbery.
• Quick, simple, and made with pantry basics.

Key Ingredients:

• Large Whole Eggs + An Extra Yolk: Adding an extra yolk to scrambled egg mixture creates a richer, creamier flavor and texture.
• Half & Half: Adding a cream such as whole milk, half & half, or heavy cream adds extra fat and moisture to the scrambled eggs. The fat coats the proteins in the eggs which helps them from becoming tough and rubbery once cooked.
• Butter: Melted in a frying pan to add flavor and keep the eggs from sticking to the pan.

Recipe Variations:

• Make them Cheesy: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese or crumbled goat cheese.
• Make them Herby: Add chopped chives, basil, or even dill.
• Make them Meaty: Add chopped bacon, diced ham, or top with smoked salmon.
• Add some Veggies: Fold in sauteed veggies such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

Tips & Notes:

• Beat eggs gently with cream and seasoning in a small mixing bowl before adding to frying pan.
• Use a non-stick frying pan and rubber spatula.
• Start on medium-high heat and finish on low for soft, creamy curds.
• Remove eggs from heat while slightly underdone as they continue cooking while off heat.
