Eggs are a versatile and nutritious staple in many kitchens. Whether you're a novice cook or a seasoned chef, mastering the art of cooking basic eggs is essential. This simple recipe will guide you through the process of preparing perfect eggs every time, using just a few ingredients.

Instructions:

1. Crack the eggs: Break all six eggs into a mixing bowl, being careful to avoid any pieces of shell.
2. Season: Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the bowl with the eggs. The amounts are approximate, so you can adjust to taste.
3. Whisk the eggs: Using a fork or a whisk, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This should only take a minute or two.
4. Preheat the pan: Place a non-stick or lightly greased frying pan on the stove and set the heat to medium.
5. Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the preheated pan. Allow them to sit undisturbed for a few moments until they start to set around the edges.
6. Scramble the eggs: Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, continually scraping the bottom of the pan to ensure even cooking.
7. Continue cooking: Keep stirring and turning the eggs until they are cooked through but still soft and slightly creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes in total.
8. Serve immediately: Once the eggs have reached your desired level of doneness, remove them from the heat and transfer to a plate. Serve immediately while hot.

Tips:

- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.

- Let the eggs come to room temperature before cooking, as this ensures even cooking.

- For scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which makes them fluffier.

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and breaking.
