Basic Scrambled Eggs Recipe - eggs

Method

• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl and until broken up.
• Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper and beat to incorporate.
• Place 2 tablespoons of the eggs in a small bowl; set aside.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
• Add butter to the pan and, using a rubber spatula, swirl until its melted and foamy and the pan is evenly coated.
• Pour in the larger portion of the eggs, sprinkle with chives and/or tarragon (if using), and let sit undisturbed until eggs just start to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Using the rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges into the center.
• Let sit again for about 30 seconds, then repeat pushing the eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds until just set, for a total cooking time of about 5 minutes.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons raw egg and stir until eggs no longer look wet.
• Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Serve immediately.
