Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) milk, plant milk, or water
Cooking Fats:
- Extra-virgin olive oil or butter, for the pan
Seasonings and Garnish:
- Sea salt
- Fresh black pepper
- Chopped fresh chives, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and liquid in a medium bowl until smooth and uniform, ensuring egg whites are fully integrated.
- Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with olive oil or butter, then warm over medium heat for even cooking.
- Pour whisked eggs into the heated skillet and let them settle for 30 seconds without stirring.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently push eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft, large curds.
- Continue folding and turning eggs every 15-20 seconds, allowing them to cook evenly without becoming tough.
- Maintain low to medium heat, consistently scraping the pan’s bottom and sides to prevent sticking and ensure creamy texture.
- Remove skillet from heat when eggs are still slightly moist and glossy, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
- Season immediately with salt and pepper, then garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Transfer eggs to a warm plate and serve immediately to preserve their delicate, creamy consistency.
Notes
- Select room temperature eggs for smoother, creamier scrambled eggs that blend more evenly.
- Use a gentle whisking technique to incorporate air and create a lighter, fluffier texture without overbeating.
- Opt for low and slow cooking method to prevent rubbery, tough eggs and maintain a silky, delicate consistency.
- Experiment with alternative liquids like cream or plant-based milk for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
