Creamy, fluffy eggs ready in 10 minutes—simple, delicious, and perfectly satisfying breakfast.
# 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 the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Place unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet and heat over medium-low heat until melted and gently bubbling.
03 - Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Allow to sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges just begin to set.
04 - Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Continue this motion to cook evenly.
05 - Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and gently, until the eggs are just set but still creamy and slightly moist. Immediately remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
06 - Transfer to plates and serve warm while the eggs remain creamy and fluffy.
