How to Cook Scrambled Eggs?

Here’s all you need to know to make the perfect scrambled eggs recipe every time, and we’re talking restaurant quality here — scrambled eggs done right.

You might not know this, but one of the secrets behind nice scrambled eggs is that there’s more than eggs on your plate.

It all starts with butter you may use cooking oil or olive oil but butter is nicer in every way, especially if cooking delicate food over medium flame, like eggs.

Then there’s the seasoning. Many scrambled eggs go wrong because they’re under seasoned. It takes some practice to get the seasoning just right, but a pinch of salt and pepper goes a long way.

There’s one more critical ingredient — the garnish. Let’s face it; scrambled eggs are not the prettiest of dishes, so a few chopped chives will give color to the dish beautifully.

Tips to Make the Perfect Scrambled Eggs

• Whisk the eggs in a bowl before adding them to the pan. Season them beforehand, too. Once the eggs hit the skillet, it’s already too late to stir them into the right texture.
• Nice and slow is the name of the game. You can’t rush eggs. Cook them over the medium flame while stirring non-stop SLOWLY.
• Use a silicone spatula. Eggs are sticky, so they’re easily handled with a non-stick spatula. The same goes for the pan — use a non-stick skillet!
• Remove the eggs from the heat before they’re fully done. They continue to cook even after removing from the pan — that’s the residual heat, embrace it! Or else, your eggs will turn dry and rubbery if overcooked.
