Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley just before serving.
• Use whole milk for richer eggs or a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
• Make sure the butter is melted and bubbly but not browned to keep the eggs silky and avoid bitterness.
• Stirring gently and slowly after removing from heat prevents overcooking and helps achieve the creamy texture.

Storage

Scrambled eggs are best eaten immediately for the best texture and flavor. If storing leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in a microwave at low power or in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying out.

FAQs

Why add cornstarch to the scrambled eggs?

Cornstarch helps create a smoother, creamier texture by thickening the eggs slightly and preventing them from becoming rubbery or dry.

Can I make this recipe without butter?

Butter adds richness and flavor, as well as helps with the creamy texture. You can substitute with oil, but the final texture and taste may differ slightly.

Instructions

1. Crack the eggs: Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl, ready for mixing.
2. Prepare milk mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 tablespoons of whole milk and 1 3/4 teaspoons of cornstarch until fully combined and lump-free.
3. Combine and season: Add the milk-cornstarch mixture to the eggs, then beat the mixture smoothly until uniform in texture. Season with salt to taste.
4. Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet on high heat until it’s hot. Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter— it should sizzle immediately. Let the butter melt fully and become bubbly, but avoid letting it brown.
5. Add eggs to skillet: Pour the beaten egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 3 seconds until the edges start to bubble.
6. Remove from heat and stir: Take the skillet off the heat promptly. Begin stirring the eggs in one full circular motion per second, counting to 12. This off-heat stirring allows the eggs to cook gently without overcooking.
7. Check texture: The eggs will absorb all the butter but remain slightly undercooked, giving them their creamy, soft texture.
8. Serve immediately: Transfer the eggs to a plate right away — do not wait until they look fully cooked to remove them from the pan.
9. Enjoy: The result is the creamiest, fastest, and easiest scrambled eggs you can make, perfect for a delicate breakfast. Voilà!
