The key to making perfect scrambled eggs is whisking the eggs thoroughly and vigorously before cooking them. Whisking incorporates air, which produces fluffier scrambled eggs, and fluffier eggs are always your end goal. Another professional tip is to turn off the heat before the eggs are all the way cooked.

Directions

1. BEAT eggs, milk, salt and pepper in medium bowl until blended.

2. HEAT butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. POUR in egg mixture. As eggs begin to set, gently PULL the eggs across the pan with a spatula, forming large soft curds.

3. CONTINUE cooking—pulling, lifting and folding eggs—until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly. REMOVE from heat. SERVE immediately.

Insider Info

• Spice up this easy egg favorite by adding Pepper Jack and salsa, or lighten it up by substituting cooking spray and water for the butter and milk.
• Avoid cast iron. Eggs scrambled in a cast iron skillet can turn a greenish shade. This harmless but unappealing color change is the result of a chemical reaction between iron in the pan and sulfur in egg whites.
• Don’t overcook. The heat retained in the pan will continue to cook and firm up the eggs after pan is removed from heat.
• How long to beat? It’s a matter of preference. Light beating produces more dense scrambled eggs. Vigorous beating aerates the eggs, resulting in lighter fluffier curds.
• Ideally, serve scrambled eggs as soon as they are cooked, but if necessary, they can be held for a short time. Place the skillet of cooked eggs over a pan of hot water rather than over direct heat.
