    How to Make Creamy Classic Scrambled Eggs for Two

    1. Whisk the Eggs

    Start by cracking four large eggs into a bowl. Using a whisk, blend the eggs until you have a smooth, consistent mixture. This initial whisking is crucial as it incorporates air, which will help make your scrambled eggs light and fluffy.

    2. Melt the Butter

    Next, place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, but be careful not to let it brown; the butter should be melted and slightly frothy. The gentle heat is key here to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly, which ensures a creamy texture.

    3. Cook the Eggs

    Once the butter is ready, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Begin to stir immediately and continue to stir gently and continuously. This might seem tedious, but it’s important because constant stirring creates small curds and a creamy consistency. Watch the eggs closely; they should look slightly runny but not liquid, a sign they are almost done.

    4. Season and Finish

    As the eggs start to softly set, season them with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground pepper. If you want to add an extra touch of richness, stir in a splash of cream at this point. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set but still moist.

    5. Serve

    Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate immediately to prevent overcooking. Enjoy your creamy classic scrambled eggs while they're warm and tender.

    Variations

    Cheese Scramble

    After the eggs begin to set, fold in a generous amount of shredded cheese such as cheddar, gruyere, or feta. This builds on the creaminess and adds a different depth of flavor.

    Smoked Salmon Scramble

    Fold in pieces of smoked salmon and a bit of cream cheese at the end of cooking for a luxurious brunch option.

    Meat and Seafood

    . Crispy Bacon Bits

    Herb Scramble

    Mix in finely chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, tarragon, or dill just before the eggs are fully set. This adds freshness and a burst of color.

    Cheese Variations

    . Aged Cheddar
