Learn the low-and-slow technique to create incredibly fluffy and creamy scrambled eggs with velvety curds, perfect for a quick weekday breakfast or gourmet brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it foams slightly. Do not let the butter brown.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
  4. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
  5. Continue this gentle pushing and folding motion slowly and continuously. Keep the heat low to prevent the eggs from becoming tough.
  6. When the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly wet and glossy (this is key for creaminess), remove the pan from the heat immediately. The residual heat will finish cooking them to a perfect, velvety texture.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra protein, stir in 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese with the milk before cooking.
  • For cheesy scrambled eggs, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar or Gruyère over the eggs during the last minute of cooking, just before removing from the heat.
  • Cooking low and slow prevents the proteins from seizing up, which results in rubbery eggs.
