This technique for American style scrambled eggs is just the way to start your day. Stirring constantly keeps the eggs fluffy and less like a broken omelette. And they pair perfectly with so many other dishes.
Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together until well combined...
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp kosher salt{tip:We test with Morton kosher salt. Using table salt? Use about 3/4 as much. Diamond Crystal? Use about 1 1/2 times as much.}
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional)
Melt the Butter
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt...
- 1/2 cup butter
Scramble
Pour the eggs into the skillet and stir constantly as they cook.
As the eggs start to set, pull the pan off the heat now and then so they don't overcook, then return it to the heat.
When there's no runny liquid left but the eggs still glisten, take them off the heat for good.
Note: If liquid starts to separate from the eggs as they sit, give them a good stir with a fork to bring everything back together.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve with buttered toast or your favorite sides.
