How to make scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs are a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast or a comforting evening snack, this basic recipe will help you whip up perfectly smooth and creamy scrambled eggs in no time.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs
- Crack all the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add the light sour cream to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs and sour cream together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the sour cream is fully incorporated. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
2. Heat the Pan
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Add the butter to the pan and let it melt completely, swirling the pan to ensure the bottom is evenly coated with butter.
3. Cook the Eggs
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
- Allow it to sit undisturbed for a few moments until the edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges towards the center.
- Continue to cook, stirring gently and constantly, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
4. Finish the Scrambled Eggs
- Remove the pan from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked as they will continue to cook with the residual heat.
- Give the eggs one final gentle stir to reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Serve Immediately
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh and high-quality eggs for the best taste.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, resulting in fluffier scrambled eggs.

- Cook the eggs on low heat to prevent them from becoming rubbery and overcooked.

- Adding a splash of milk or cream can make the eggs even creamier, if desired.

- Season the eggs with salt and pepper just before cooking to avoid drawing out too much moisture.
