Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Sharing is caring!

Welcome to our Perfect Egg Series featuring egg basics that everyone can master.  Eggs take very little time to make, and can go from breakfast to dinner.  Our Perfect Egg Series will focus on exactly that, how to cook eggs perfectly every single time.  The first egg recipe will be for perfect scrambled eggs, which happen to be one of the quickest and easiest breakfasts to master.  Fast and delicious protein to get your day going.

Scrambled eggs are something that we eat often as they don’t require much thought or preparing.  I always have eggs in the refrigerator just so breakfast can be a no brainer.  Scrambled eggs can be either plain or with an assortment of fillings such as mushrooms, spinach, cheeses, or tomatoes.  The choices are limitless.  

The key to the perfect scrambled egg is how you cook it.  You want the egg to be cooked through but still creamy.  We have been trying out some different techniques and finally came up with what is our favorite scrambled eggs or as my god-daughter Maggie likes to call them “butter eggs”.  

The key is adding butter to the frying pan, as well as some butter along with the eggs that you are mixing up.  Over medium-low heat, you want to continue to stirring the eggs with a spatula until they are creamy, and slightly fluffy.  After the eggs are cooked, stop the cooking process with a little more butter or creme fraiche for a bit of a fancy scrambled egg.

I always season after cooking as you may not need salt as the butter or creme fraiche may be enough.

The secret to the perfect scrambled egg is cooling down the egg while it is still creamy by using creme fraiche.

Prep Time 1 minute

Cook Time 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter, divided in half 
• 1 teaspoon creme fraiche

Instructions

Melt half of the butter over low heat, in a large frying pan.

Cut the remainder of the butter cut into small pieces.

While the butter is melting, whisk the eggs with the additional butter pieces.  The butter will stay solid.
