My Scrambled Egg Struggles (And Breakthrough!)
For the longest time, my eggs turned out... meh. Either too dry or too runny. Then one day, I slowed things down, changed one or two small steps, and BOOM β fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs that melt in your mouth. π§
What You'll Need π§Ί
Simple ingredients, big difference:
β’ 2 or 3 eggs
β’ A splash of milk or cream (about 1 tbsp per egg)
β’ A pinch of salt
β’ A dab of butter (or oil if you prefer)
β’ Optional: chopped chives, black pepper, cheese
Here's the Magic Method β¨
1. Whisk gently but well. Break your eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk/cream and salt, then whisk until the yolks and whites are fully mixed. You want a smooth, pale yellow color.
2. Use low heat. This is key. Place your nonstick pan on the lowest heat and melt your butter slowly. You don't want sizzling sounds β we're going for gentle cooking.
3. Stir non-stop, but slowly. Pour in the eggs and start stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon in slow circles or gentle folds. Don't walk away!
4. Take it off early. Once it looks about 80% cooked (still a little soft and shiny), remove from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking it without drying it out.
5. Optional topping time! Add a touch of pepper, herbs, or even a sprinkle of cheese on top while it's still warm. Yum!
Extra Tips π‘
β’ Don't rush. Low and slow is the secret to creamy eggs.
β’ Try using cream cheese or a spoonful of Greek yogurt instead of milk for extra richness.
β’ Cooking for more people? Just use a wider pan and keep stirring to spread the heat evenly.
