- Place a nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add butter; let it melt and foam slightly—but don’t let it brown.
3. Cook Low & Slow
- Pour in eggs. Let sit 10 seconds, then begin stirring gently and continuously with a silicone spatula.
- Use small, sweeping motions to form soft curds.
- Never rush—cooking should take 3–5 minutes.
4. Remove Early
- When eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny (they’ll look underdone), remove from heat.
- Residual heat will finish cooking them to perfect tenderness.
5. Finish & Serve
- Stir in pepper, herbs, or cheese off-heat.
- Serve immediately—scrambled eggs wait for no one!

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake | Why It Ruins Eggs | Fix |
|---|---|---|
High heat | Causes rubbery, dry curds | Cook on medium-low |
Infrequent stirring | Creates uneven, tough patches | Stir constantly & gently |
Overcooking | Turns eggs into scrambled bricks | Remove while still slightly wet |
Salting after cooking | Misses moisture benefit | Salt before cooking |
