🍳 Scrambled eggs
Scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast staple made by whisking eggs and cooking them gently in a pan until soft and fluffy. They’re simple, versatile, and can be customized with cheese, herbs, vegetables, or meats.
🥚 Basic Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 2–3 eggs per person
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, makes them creamier)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp butter or oil
👩‍🍳 Instructions
- Whisk eggs
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook the eggs
- Pour eggs into the skillet.
- Let sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs from edges to center.
- Cook slowly for soft, creamy curds. Remove just before fully set, as eggs continue cooking off the heat.
- Season and serve
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
🍴 Tips & Variations
- Cheese: Stir in shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or feta at the end.
- Herbs: Chives, parsley, or dill add freshness.
- Veggies: Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes work well.
- Protein: Add cooked bacon, ham, or smoked salmon for a hearty breakfast.
- Extra creamy: Use a double boiler or cook very slowly on low heat.
