✅ Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 2 Tbsp butter (divided)

• 2 Tbsp milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 slices bread, toasted (sourdough or brioche work great)

🔢 Instructions

1. Beat the Eggs:
   Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk or cream (if using), and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

2. Preheat the Pan:
   Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter until it coats the surface.

3. Cook Slowly:
   Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a rubber spatula. Keep the heat low — patience is key for creamy eggs!

4. Fold and Cream:
   As curds start to form, gently push them from the edges toward the center. When the eggs look mostly set but still slightly glossy, remove from heat.

5. Add Butter & Season:
   Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter — it adds shine and richness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve:
   Spoon the scrambled eggs over toasted bread and top with a little extra cracked pepper.

💡 Quick Tips

• Low and slow is the secret to creamy eggs — never rush the cooking.

• Add a small knob of cream cheese or cottage cheese for extra fluffiness.

• European-style butter or ghee gives a rich, nutty flavor.

• For a gourmet touch, sprinkle with chives, grated parmesan, or truffle salt.

🧈 Introduction

Few things are as comforting as perfectly soft scrambled eggs on toast. It’s the kind of breakfast that feels fancy but takes less than ten minutes. Whether it’s a quiet weekend morning or a quick weekday bite, this dish delivers simple, satisfying perfection.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Step 1: Whisk with Intention

Whisk your eggs until completely blended — this incorporates air for fluffier texture.

Step 2: Keep the Heat Gentle

Medium-low heat ensures the eggs cook evenly without drying out. Scramble them gently and remove from heat before they’re fully done — they’ll finish cooking in their own warmth.

Step 3: Butter Makes It Better

Finishing the eggs with butter off the heat gives them a glossy, restaurant-quality finish.

Step 4: Toast & Assemble

Use a thick slice of toasted bread — sourdough, brioche, or whole-grain. Spoon eggs generously on top and serve immediately.

🥚 Ingredient Details & Substitutions

• Eggs: Use fresh, large eggs — pasture-raised have richer color and flavor.

• Butter: Substitute with olive oil for a lighter version.

• Milk/Cream: Optional — creates softer, creamier curds.

• Bread: Use any sturdy toast — brioche for sweetness, rye for tang, or keto bread for low-carb.

🍞 Variations & Serving Suggestions

Flavor Add-Ins:

• Stir in cheddar, feta, or cream cheese as eggs cook.

• Add fresh herbs (chives, dill, parsley) or sautéed mushrooms for flavor depth.

• Drizzle with hot sauce or pesto for a fun twist.

Serving Ideas:

• Top with smoked salmon for a brunch-style version.

• Serve alongside crispy bacon or avocado slices.

• Pair with a latte or fresh orange juice for a complete breakfast.

🧊 Storage & Make-Ahead

• Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated up to 1 day.

• Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of milk or butter to revive the creaminess.

• Toast bread fresh right before serving for best texture.

❓ FAQs

Q: Why are my scrambled eggs rubbery?
A: The heat was too high or they were cooked too long. Keep it low and remove from heat early.

Q: Can I make this without milk?
A: Yes — eggs alone will still be soft and rich. Milk just adds extra creaminess.

Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Absolutely — use a large skillet so the eggs cook evenly.
