Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: fresh herbs (chives, parsley), grated cheese, diced tomatoes
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well beaten.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and spread evenly across the pan.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
- 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.
- Continue folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
- Remove the skillet from heat and season the eggs with salt and pepper. Give them one final gentle stir to incorporate the seasoning.
- Transfer the soft scrambled eggs to a plate and let them rest for a minute to allow any remaining liquid to set.
- Serve the eggs warm, and if desired, top them with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or diced tomatoes.
- Enjoy your fluffy and creamy soft scrambled eggs!
