How to Scramble Eggs

Scrambled eggs are easy, but to make your eggs creamy in texture, you need to cook them slowly over low heat. Serves one.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Groceries
• Frying Pan
• Spatulas
• Wire Whisks Or Fork
• 1 to 3 large eggs
• milk
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• butter

1. Crack one to three large eggs in a bowl.
2. Add a splash of milk.
3. Add a dash of pepper and salt.
4. Beat with a fork or whisk until well combined.
5. Heat a skillet over a medium-low flame.
6. Melt 1/2 tbsp. of butter in the skillet.
7. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
8. Let the eggs cook undisturbed until they begin to set, then stir them off the bottom of the pan gently.
9. Continue cooking until the eggs are the consistency you like.
10. Stir cheese or any other additions into the eggs 1 or 2 minutes before you're going to serve them.

Tips & Warnings

• Eggs cooked for a shorter period of time are "scrambled soft." If cooked longer, they are "scrambled hard." The "ideal" of scrambled eggs is soft and creamy, but some really like 'em hard - even browned on the edges. (These people might well try omelettes; see Related eHows.)
• Cooking the eggs at a higher temperature makes them rubbery. Some of the "hard scrambled" types like this! If that's you, by all means, crank it up. But stir the eggs more often so they don't burn.
