Make Classic Scrambled Eggs
Recipe Name: Classic Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped herbs, diced vegetables
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
2. Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
3. Once the butter has melted, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let them sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
4. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue doing this until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
5. At this point, you can add any optional toppings you desire, such as shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or diced vegetables. Sprinkle them evenly over the eggs.
6. Continue cooking the eggs, gently folding them over themselves with the spatula until they are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become dry.
7. Once the eggs reach your desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat. They will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat.
8. Serve the classic scrambled eggs hot, either on their own or with your favorite sides such as toast, bacon, or fresh fruit.
Enjoy your delicious and fluffy classic scrambled eggs!
