Easy Scrambled Eggs

 

I was born and raised in the south where milk is a popular ingredient in scrambled eggs.  It makes them soft and fluffy.   
 
However, if you prefer firm scrambled eggs, omit the milk.  
 
  
 
SEASON WITH WHITE OR BLACK PEPPER
 
Season with salt and coarse ground black pepper. 
 
 
If you prefer eggs without the dark spots from black pepper, consider using white pepper. 
 
Pepper Black or White
 
 

MELT BUTTER IN HOT SKILLET 

Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or use olive oil) in a skillet on top of the stove…

over low heat.   

Use LOW HEAT to avoid over cooking which causes a thick and dry texture.  

 

POUR EGG MISTURE INTO SKILLET WITH MELTED BUTTER 

Before pouring the egg mixture, make sure you have a spatula ready.  Eggs cook quickly and a spatula is required to quickly and lightly fold them while they cook… so they don’t get too dry. 

 

LIGHTLY FOLD EGGS… INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY STIRRING

Lightly fold scrambled eggs to create larger pieces. 

Do not stir.  Constant stirring will cause the eggs crumble into small pieces.  

 

Scramble the eggs by lightly folding with a spatula until preferred doneness.

BROWN & FIRM SCRAMBLED EGGS 

To make scrambled eggs with a brown crust, cook a minute longer. They will be firm instead of soft and fluffy.

To keep scrambled eggs hot, serve on a warm plate.

Easy Scrambled Eggs

Easy scrambled eggs are hearty, delicious and loaded with protein. Quick and easy to make. Recipe and photography by Beverly Davis for CornbreadMillionaire.com.
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time5 minutes mins
Total Time15 minutes mins
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Keyword: scrambled eggs
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 medium or large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk whole or 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon black or white pepper more or less as preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt more or less as preferred
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter margarine or olive oil

Instructions

  • In medium size bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
  • Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to a 10 or 12-inch skillet. Melt over LOW HEAT until butter melts. This will take about 1 minute.
  • Pour egg mixture into middle of pan. This forces the butter to the edges of the mixture where it's needed.
  • When edges start to turn solid (2-3 minutes), use a spatula to gently fold eggs from outside edges into the center. Keep folding until no more liquid remains. Scrambled eggs will be soft and fluffy. For firmer eggs, allow to cook a minute or two longer.
  • Immediately remove skillet from heat and transfer scrambled eggs to a warm plate. Rest eggs for one minute to finish cooking before serving.
  • HELPFUL TIPS: To make scrambled eggs with a brown crust, cook a minute longer. They will be firm instead of soft and fluffy. To keep scrambled eggs hot, serve on a warm plate.

    That’s the way I make my scrambled eggs and I like them “dry” as opposed to “wet” as preferred by many people. You know it would be even better with a bit of bacon grease! But that’s the southern in me.

      Hi Carol! I also like “dry” scrambled eggs. Taste much better than the ‘wet” in my opinion! I also like ’em with brown edges. YUM!! Bacon grease definitely adds delicious flavor. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please come again!
