Forget rubbery, dry scrambled eggs—creamy scrambled eggs are a revelation: soft, custardy curds that melt on your tongue, rich with butter and finished with a whisper of seasoning. This method—inspired by French technique but simplified for home cooks—relies on low heat, constant stirring, and pulling the pan off the stove just before they look done.
The result? Eggs so tender, they feel luxurious… yet ready in under 10 minutes.
Why This Method Works
- 🥚 Low and slow cooking = even heat, no overcooking
- 🧈 Extra butter + cream = velvety, restaurant-quality texture
- ✋ Gentle stirring = small, delicate curds
- ⏸️ Residual heat finishes the job = perfectly set, never dry
Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 2)
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp heavy cream, crème fraîche, or whole milk
- 1½ tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
- Flaky sea salt (like Maldon)

💡 Pro Tips:
- Room-temperature eggs blend more smoothly.
- Don’t overbeat—just whisk until yolks and whites are combined.
- Salt at the end—prevents watery texture.
