Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Yield 1
ingredients
- 3 egg whites + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk or water, and salt. Whisk until smooth and combined, with no streaks of egg white remaining.
- Brush a small non-stick skillet with olive oil. Bring to medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs, and let them cook for a few seconds without stirring. Pull a rubber spatula across the bottom of the pan to form large, soft curds of scrambled eggs
- Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds. Scrape the spatula along the bottom and sides of the pan often to form more curds and to prevent any part of the eggs from drying out.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs are just set. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
