A simple and delicious recipe for soft, creamy scrambled eggs enhanced with fresh herbs. Perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast or brunch, this recipe uses basic ingredients and gentle stovetop cooking to create fluffy eggs with rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large Fresh Eggs (Use large eggs for best flavor and texture.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Enhances flavor.)
- 1 pinch Black Pepper (Adjust to taste.)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Herbs (Such as chives, parsley, or dill.)
Cooking Fat
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Adds richness and prevents sticking.)
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined, ensuring uniform texture for cooking.
- Season: Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the beaten eggs and mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat to gently warm without burning.
- Melt the butter: Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt completely without allowing it to brown, which keeps the eggs tender.
- Add eggs to skillet: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed briefly to start setting on the bottom.
- Gently stir eggs: Using a spatula, carefully stir the eggs by pushing them from the edges toward the center to form soft curds without breaking them apart too much.
- Cook until creamy: Continue gently stirring for about 3 to 5 minutes until the eggs are soft, creamy, and slightly undercooked, maintaining a moist texture.
- Remove from heat: Take the skillet off the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny since residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.
- Add herbs: Fold in the chopped fresh herbs of your choice like chives, parsley, or dill to add fresh flavor and color.
- Serve immediately: Plate the scrambled eggs right away for best texture and enjoy your delicious, fluffy eggs.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to prevent eggs from overcooking or becoming dry.
- Butter adds richness but can be substituted with oil or margarine if preferred.
- Fresh herbs are optional but add a bright, fresh flavor to the dish.
- Remove eggs from heat before fully cooked to avoid rubbery texture.
- Customize seasoning with additional spices like paprika or garlic powder if desired.
