Ingredients:
- Eggs (2-4, depending on your preference and appetite)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or cooking oil (1 tablespoon)
- Optional: Milk (1-2 tablespoons, for creamier eggs)
- Optional toppings: Chopped herbs, shredded cheese, diced vegetables, or cooked meats
Instructions:
- Crack the Eggs:
- Crack the desired number of eggs into a bowl. Use a separate bowl to avoid any shell fragments.
- Seasoning:
- Add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to the eggs. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
- Optional: Add Milk:
- If you like creamier scrambled eggs, you can add a tablespoon or two of milk to the beaten eggs. Whisk them together.
- Whisk the Eggs:
- Use a fork or a whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined. The more you whisk, the fluffier your eggs will be.
- Preheat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add butter or cooking oil and let it melt.
- Pour Eggs into the Pan:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Allow them to sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
- Scramble:
- Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs. Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to achieve an even texture.
- Optional Additions:
- If you’re adding any extras like cheese, herbs, vegetables, or meats, sprinkle them over the eggs while they’re still slightly runny.
- Finish Cooking:
- Cook until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist. Be careful not to overcook, as eggs can quickly become dry.
- Serve:
- Once cooked to your liking, transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and serve immediately.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with additional herbs, a sprinkle of cheese, or a dash of hot sauce if desired.
