Instructions:

- Measure out the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

The cooking time for garlic scrambled eggs is typically around 3-5 minutes. After pouring the seasoned eggs into the skillet, let them cook undisturbed for 10-15 seconds before stirring. Continue cooking until they are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Scrambled eggs should be removed from the heat when they are mostly set but still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook from residual heat. Look for a soft and creamy texture without any liquid egg remaining.
Yes, you can store leftover garlic scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop, adding a little butter to restore creaminess.
If you don't have garlic powder, you can use fresh minced garlic instead. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic for equivalent flavor, but sauté it briefly in the butter before adding the eggs for best results.
A small to medium non-stick skillet (around 8-10 inches) is ideal for making scrambled eggs. This size allows the eggs to cook evenly and gives you enough space to stir them gently.
Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make cleaning easier.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before cooking to achieve a uniform texture.
- Add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking for extra creaminess.
- Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
