Perfect Scrambled Egg
The Creamiest Buttery Scrambled Eggs – A Simple & Perfect Breakfast
Few breakfasts are as luxurious yet effortless as buttery scrambled eggs. Whether you’re starting your day slowly with a rich, creamy dish or craving a quick, satisfying meal, this foolproof scrambled eggs recipe delivers restaurant-quality results every time.
Why These Scrambled Eggs Are the Best
If you've ever wondered how chefs achieve that soft, velvety texture in their scrambled eggs, the secret lies in low heat, patience, and butter—lots of butter! This recipe uses a classic French-inspired technique, ensuring creamy eggs with delicate curds every single time.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients (Serves 1)
2 eggs
25g butter, cubed
Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Melt the Butter
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and add half of your butter (12.5g). Allow it to melt gently without browning.
2. Whisk the Eggs
While the butter is melting, whisk your eggs in a bowl with a pinch of pepper. This incorporates air, making your scrambled eggs lighter.
3. Cook Low and Slow
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and begin stirring slowly and continuously using a spatula. Move the eggs gently around the pan, ensuring they cook evenly.
4. The Secret to Creamy Scrambled Eggs
Once you see small curds forming, add the remaining 12.5g of butter and continue stirring. The extra butter slows the cooking process and adds richness, helping to create that signature creamy yet curd like texture.
5. Serve Immediately
Once your eggs are soft, creamy, and just set, stir in a pinch of salt and remove them from the heat and plate them immediately. Cooked eggs continue to firm up, so err on the side of slightly underdone.
Pro Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor.
Low and slow cooking prevents dry, rubbery eggs.
A silicone spatula works best for gentle stirring.
Avoid pre-seasoning with salt—adding it too early can make eggs watery.
