Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 large eggs

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk thoroughly until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper (start with about ¼ teaspoon salt).

Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl until completely melted, then reduce heat to medium-low.

Pour the eggs into the skillet. Using a spatula, gently stir and move the eggs around the pan.

As curds begin to form, push and fold the eggs over themselves, guiding any liquid egg to contact the pan. Stir frequently but gently.

When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy, remove the pan from the heat. Continue stirring until they reach your desired doneness.

Serve immediately.

Notes

Lower heat is the key to soft, creamy scrambled eggs.

Eggs continue to cook from residual heat after removing the pan.

For extra richness, add a splash of milk or cream before cooking (optional).
