- To start preparing the eggs, whisk them together. Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl and whisk them until they’re thoroughly combined and there are no yolk visible. Add ¾ teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to taste.
- Prepare the pan by heating it up. Over medium-low heat, heat the nonstick pan. Toss the butter around in the pan until it melts and coats the pan. If it foams up a lot and starts to brown, remove it from the fire and set it aside to cool. If the butter begins to brown, replace it with fresh butter.
- Pour in the eggs. Pour the eggs in slowly. Allow them to heat for a few minutes until the egg begins to turn opaque on the bottom of the pan. If they’re starting to set too quickly, reduce the heat even more: creamy eggs require mild heat.
- Consistently scramble the eggs. To ensure that the eggs cook evenly, use the spatula to move them over the pan like a bulldozer. Without pausing, continue scrambling in this manner.
- Long, slow cooking and steady movement are essential for light, delicate scrambled eggs.
- If desired, add chopped fresh herbs or chunks of ham or cheese as the eggs begin to set. Now is the time to make a toast if you’re making it. Mix-ins are optional though.
- Arrange the eggs on a plate. Spoon the eggs onto the warmed plates gently.
