Description

A simple and delicious scrambled egg recipe cooked in butter for a rich flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter (or neutral oil for dairy free)
  • 2 fresh eggs (fresh is best*)

Instructions

  1. In a large cast iron or non-stick skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium low heat until starting to foam (eggs are best on low to medium low heat).
  2. Add the eggs and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds black pepper.
  3. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the white is firm but the yolk is still runny.
  4. Flip and cook 2 more minutes until the yolk is fully cooked through.
  5. About 1 minute in, gently press the yolk with a spatula to make sure it’s broken.

Notes

  • Be sure to use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute the butter with a neutral oil for a dairy-free option.
