Learn how to make the best soft scrambled eggs that are fluffy, creamy, and full of flavor. This easy breakfast recipe takes just a few minutes to prepare and will become your favorite way to enjoy eggs. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch or a quick weekday breakfast, these soft scrambled eggs are a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: fresh herbs (chives, parsley), grated cheese, diced tomatoes

Directions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well beaten.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and spread evenly across the pan.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
  4. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold the eggs in large curds from the outside towards the center. Repeat this motion every 10-15 seconds.
  5. Continue folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and season the eggs with salt and pepper. Give them one final gentle stir to incorporate the seasoning.
  7. Transfer the soft scrambled eggs to a plate and let them rest for a minute to allow any remaining liquid to set.
  8. Serve the eggs warm, and if desired, top them with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or diced tomatoes.
  9. Enjoy your fluffy and creamy soft scrambled eggs!
