What You’ll Need
Gathering the right ingredients is essential. Here’s what goes into our Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
- 4 large eggs

- Butter for cooking (olive oil or another fat can work in a pinch)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together all the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a generous pat of butter.
- Wait for the butter to melt and start bubbling, then pour in your egg mixture.
