Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 grinds black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter or margarine or oil
  • 4 slices bread toasted
  • Butter for serving

Instructions
 

  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan with a rubber spatula.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  • Melt butter over medium heat.
  • Pour in the egg mixture. Wait 5 seconds before stirring.
  • Gently push the eggs across the pan in long strokes, allowing uncooked egg to flow into empty spaces.
  • After about 30 seconds, begin folding the eggs gently.
  • Continue cooking for about 60 seconds until soft curds form with no liquid egg remaining.
  • Remove from heat while slightly undercooked—this is key for creamy scrambled eggs.
  • Let residual heat finish cooking for 10 seconds.
  • Serve immediately on buttered toast and sprinkle with extra pepper.

Notes

  • Swap milk with cream for richer scrambled eggs
  • Add herbs like chives or parsley for freshness
  • Serve with avocado, cheese, or sautéed mushrooms
