How to Cook Scrambled Eggs Perfectly Every Time

Step 2: Heat the Pan

1. Preheat: Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
2. Melt Butter: Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the pan evenly. Avoid browning the butter.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

1. Pour: Add the whisked eggs to the pan.
2. Let Set: Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
3. Stir: Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center using a spatula. Tilt the pan to let uncooked eggs flow into the cleared space.

Step 4: Fold and Finish

1. Continue Cooking: Gently fold the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny.
2. Remove from Heat: Take the pan off the heat while the eggs are still slightly underdone.

Step 5: Season and Serve

1. Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the eggs for the best texture and flavor.
