### Step-by-Step: How to Make Scrambled Eggs

**1. Crack and beat the eggs**
Crack eggs into a bowl and beat them thoroughly with a fork or whisk. Mix until the whites and yolks are completely combined—this gives you a uniform texture. For ultra-creamy eggs, add a splash of milk, cream, or even a tiny bit of sour cream.

**2. Season at the right time**
Lightly season with salt and pepper *after* beating. Some chefs recommend waiting until the eggs are nearly done cooking to season, which can help keep them more tender.

**3. Use a nonstick pan and low heat**
Heat a nonstick skillet over **low to medium-low** heat. Add butter and let it melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan.

**4. Pour and stir gently**
Pour in the eggs and let them sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds. Then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Keep stirring slowly and continuously to form soft curds.

**5. Take them off the heat early**
Here’s the secret: **eggs keep cooking from residual heat**. When they look about 90% done (slightly undercooked and still glossy), remove the pan from the heat. Let them finish cooking on their own for another 20–30 seconds.

**6. Garnish and serve immediately**
Top with herbs, cheese, or whatever you like. Serve on warm toast, with avocado, or as part of a breakfast plate.

### Pro Tips for the Best Scrambled Eggs

* **Use fresh eggs**: The fresher the eggs, the better the flavor and texture.
* **Don’t overcrowd the pan**: Stick to 2–4 eggs per pan for even cooking.
* **Avoid high heat**: Cooking eggs too quickly leads to rubbery results.
* **For extra creaminess**: Stir in a knob of cream cheese or a spoonful of Greek yogurt just before serving.
