How to Make Scrambled Eggs Perfectly, Every Time

You wake up, craving scrambled eggs. But making them perfectly can be tricky. Here are some foolproof methods to achieve your ideal scrambled eggs, no matter how sleepy you are.

Equipment for Perfect Scrambled Eggs:

All you need is a good nonstick skillet, a bowl, a whisk (or fork), and a spatula. Fresh eggs, oil or butter, and salt are the only ingredients required.

Commonly Asked Questions:

Butter or Oil: Both work, but butter adds flavor. Use high smoke point oil for high heat.

Milk, Cream, or Water: Each adds a different texture. Experiment to find your favorite.

When to Add Salt:

Always add salt before cooking to achieve a moist and tender curd.

Two Ways to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs:

Low-and-Slow Scrambled Eggs:

Cooking the eggs low and slow produces creamy scrambled eggs with big, soft curds.

Dress Up Your Scrambled Eggs:

Pair your scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, herby mushrooms, or avocado for a delicious meal.
