Add a pinch of salt and, if desired, a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess. Whisk with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined\u2014no need to overbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Heat the pan<br\/>Place a non-stick frying pan over\u00a0medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Do not let the butter brown.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[adinserter block=&#8221;7&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Cook the eggs<br\/>Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit undisturbed for about\u00a020 seconds. Then, using a spatula, gently push the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this gentle folding and resting motion for\u00a02\u20133 minutes, until the eggs are mostly set but still soft and slightly runny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Finish off the heat<br\/>When the eggs are almost done to your liking, remove the pan from the stovetop. The residual heat will continue cooking them gently, resulting in the softest, creamiest scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><p>Cook low and slow\u00a0\u2014 Low to medium heat prevents tough, dry eggs.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Use butter\u00a0\u2014 It adds richer flavor than oil, though oil works for dairy-free diets.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Keep them moving\u00a0\u2014 Constant gentle stirring ensures even cooking and a creamy texture.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Season at the end\u00a0\u2014 Salt draws out moisture; adding it too early can make eggs watery.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Let them rest\u00a0\u2014 A minute off the heat allows the eggs to firm up while staying soft.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delicious Add-Ins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stir these in during the final minute of cooking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><p>Cheese\u00a0\u2014 Cheddar, feta, goat cheese, or any melting cheese<\/p><\/li><li><p>Cooked bacon\u00a0\u2014 Crumbled or chopped<\/p><\/li><li><p>Saut\u00e9ed vegetables\u00a0\u2014 Mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, or onions<\/p><\/li><li><p>Fresh herbs\u00a0\u2014 Chives, parsley, or dill (add as garnish after cooking)<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Style<\/th><th>Method<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Soft scrambled<\/td><td>Cook slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until just set but still runny.
