Steps:
- Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
- TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
- Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
- Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
- Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.

Steps:
- Lightly beat the eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat; swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Add the eggs, and cook slowly, scraping them up with a rubber spatula occasionally, until most of the liquid has thickened and the eggs are soft, about 10 minutes. (If you like your eggs a little firmer, cook them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.) Remove them from the heat, and gently fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Serve hot.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS
Easiest thing in the world, right? And sure, anyone can scramble eggs, but Perfect Scrambled Eggs...there are a few tricks of the trade: first, use a nonstick pan. Second, cook over low heat. Give yourself a little time. Third, undercook them! Cut the flame just before you think your eggs are done and let the carry-over heat finish cooking them. Fourth, butter. Lots of butter. That plus a touch of creme fraiche. Fifth, do not season with salt until the very end. Follow these rules and you will never have flabby, rubbery scrambled eggs again.

Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until light and frothy and uniform in color. Strain the eggs through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the creme fraiche.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat until it melts. Add the eggs and gently mix using a heat resistant rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until soft curds form.
- Remove from the heat (the eggs will still be somewhat wet), season with salt and pepper and let the heat of the pan finish cooking them for another 1 minute. Gently fold in any of the Optional Additions just as the eggs are coming off the heat, if using.
Tips for Making the Best Scrambled Eggs:
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will produce fluffier and more flavorful scrambled eggs.
- Use the right pan. A non-stick pan is the best choice for scrambling eggs.
- Heat the pan over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and become dry and rubbery.
- Add butter or oil to the pan. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl before cooking. This will help to create a smooth and even texture.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs, cheese, or diced vegetables.
- Cook the eggs slowly and gently. Stir the eggs constantly with a spatula to prevent them from overcooking.
- Remove the eggs from the heat as soon as they are cooked. Overcooked eggs will be dry and tough.
- Serve the eggs immediately. Scrambled eggs are best when they are served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast option. By following these tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time. Experiment with different seasonings and add-ins to create your own unique scrambled egg recipes. Enjoy!
