How to Make the Best Scrambled Eggs
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth and combined, with no streaks of egg white remaining to form a foamy, and uniform color.
- Melt the butter in an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat, for about a minute.
- Pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, and let them cook for a few seconds, undisturbed, and then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Using a rubber spatula, continuously swipe eggs from one end to the other across the bottom of the pan in various directions to form medium, soft curds of scrambled eggs.
- Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding, and stirring the eggs every few seconds.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs are mostly cooked, but a little liquid egg remains.
- Fold the eggs over on themselves bringing them together.
- Transfer eggs to a warm serving dish.
- Finish to taste with some freshly cracked pepper
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

YUMMY! Perfect recipe. You wouldn’t think you’d need a recipe for scrambled eggs, but this one is the best!
Wow, I never knew how many people actually search this up! Thank you for this super informative article. It was a success on my first attempt.
Thank you for the recipe . Looks fluffy and delicious .
very fast and easy! i like to add red pepper flakes, onion salt, and garlic powder for flavor!
Easy to make and turned out creamy and fluffy!! A+
Excellent taste! Great idea to heat the plate to keep the eggs warm.
I loved it. I just started to get serious about cooking so I decided that for breakfast I’d make some eggs instead of buying food and it turned out really good . Thank you for this recipe!
These eggs are proof that taking a little time can lead to great results. I make eggs in a similar way, and they’re so good. I can’t wait to try this version, too!
This is a fantastic guide! Scrambled eggs are deceptive. They look simple, but there are a few tricks to really make them great.
I always put milk in my scrambled eggs, too! It makes them so fluffy. And I like to add some cheddar cheese for more flavor.
I made scrambled eggs for the first time last weekend and they came out pretty good, although I didn’t use milk. Maybe next time I’ll try milk and they may be a bit creamier x
These just look so good. And they have started me off fancying some scrambled eggs on toast now.
I’ve done scrambled eggs before, I love it. But I’ve never done it as you showed in the video…I will give it another shot over the weekend…Can’t wait.
Like you, I tend to add milk, always full fat as it adds a lovely creaminess to the scrambled eggs. Adding herbs is nice to add a little extra flavour.
For me scrambled eggs can be tricky. It has to be done a certain way or I can’t eat them. I like mine almost custard-like. Yours look perfect! A delicious morning start 🙂
Oh this is such a clever technique! I’ve always used a wisk but it tends to come out a bit choppy.
This recipe is so easy to make. I love how fluffy and tasty it is, thanks!
I am definitely going to give this method a try! I love scrambled eggs but am always keen to try new methods to see if they can be bettered!
I love scrambled eggs. This recipe is so easy to make. I will try it out next time I make eggs.
Oooh I absolutely love scrambled egg but there is definitely a good way and a bad way to make them – I’m all about the good! This sounds delish, thanks for sharing
