Scrambled Eggs
beginner—serves 2–4
A basic recipe, but a great one to learn what cooked eggs do.
4 eggs
4 Tbsp. whole milk
¼ tsp. salt
Dash of black pepper
1 Tbsp. butter
Crack eggs into a small bowl and add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until just combined. Put butter in a small skillet, turn the heat on high, and allow butter to melt and bubble. Swirl the skillet to spread the butter, then add the egg mixture. After a few seconds in the skillet, stir the egg mixture slowly with a spatula, scraping the mixture up from the bottom to keep eggs in large curds. Once eggs have nearly reached desired firmness, turn off the heat.
Allow the eggs to sit in the warm skillet until they reach desired consistency. Serve on a warmed plate.
