Creamy Fluffy Scrambled Eggs (Printable)

Perfect creamy scrambled eggs ready in 10 minutes—simple, fluffy, and utterly delicious.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs

→ Dairy

02 - 2 tbsp whole milk or cream
03 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter

→ Seasonings

04 - 1/4 tsp salt
05 - 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

# How To Make It:

01 - Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Place unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow butter to melt completely and begin gently bubbling.
03 - Pour the whisked egg mixture into the heated skillet. Let sit undisturbed for several seconds until edges begin to set.
04 - Using a spatula, gently push cooked portions from edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Allow uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces.
05 - Continue cooking with occasional gentle stirring until eggs are just set but remain creamy and slightly moist. Immediately remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
06 - Transfer to plates and serve immediately while warm.
