How to Make Soft Scrambled Eggs
Now I am going to tell you what ingredients you need to make this delicacy and how to make it.
Ingredients You Need
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
Alternative Ingredients
If you do not have the ingredients I listed above, do not worry. You can swap them out for the alternatives below.
| Ingredient | Alternative |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter | Ghee or olive oil |
| Heavy cream | Whole milk or half-and-half |
| Salt | Kosher salt or sea salt |
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them gently. You don’t need to beat too much—just until the yolks and whites are combined.
- Heat a non-stick pan on low heat. Add the butter and let it melt slowly.
- Pour the eggs into the pan and let them sit for a few seconds without stirring.
- Use a silicone spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Keep the heat low.
- Continue stirring slowly, pushing the eggs around the pan until they start to form soft curds.
- Remove the pan from the heat just before they look fully cooked. The residual heat will finish the job.
- Season with salt and stir in the heavy cream if using. Serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
- Low and slow is the secret—rushing will make the eggs dry and rubbery.
- If you want even softer eggs, take them off the heat while they still look a little runny.
- Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
- Don’t add salt before cooking—it can break down the eggs and make them watery.
- For an extra luxurious touch, stir in a little butter at the end.
