How to Make Scrambled Eggs (Perfectly!)

Step 1

Whisk the eggs. Add the eggs and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together, until fully combined and lightly frothy.

Step 2

Add the eggs. In a nonstick pan: heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the eggs cook for a few seconds without stirring. In a stainless steel pan: heat the skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough that a few water droplets dance in the pan. Add the butter to coat the bottom, then add the eggs. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the eggs cook for a few seconds without stirring.

Step 3

Scramble the eggs. Using a silicone or wood spatula, push the eggs across the pan to create soft curds. Continue this process of pushing and folding the eggs for about 1 to 2 minutes, until you've got big folds and the eggs are barely set, then turn off the heat. Note: the residual heat within the eggs will continue cooking them.

Step 4

Serve. Serve the eggs immediately and season with cracked black pepper.
