Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 large eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by making sure your eggs are at room temperature. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Once the eggs are ready, crack them into a large mixing bowl. Using a wire whisk, whisk the eggs vigorously until the whites and yolks are incorporated together.
- Over medium heat melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet.
- Once the butter is melted, add the whisked eggs to the pan. Turn the heat down to low-medium. I use 3 on my stovetop.
- Within 1-2 minutes small bits of the eggs will start to cook. Continue to stir and cook over the low temperature.
- Continue to cook and slowly stir the eggs for the next 8 or so minutes. See the image above for how they should look.
- Continue to fold, stir, and cook the eggs just until the exterior no longer looks wet. The total cooking time for gently cooking scrambled eggs over low heat is about 12-15 minutes.You want them to be cooked but not overdone. Aim for between 145-150°.
- Turn the heat off and move the skillet from the burner. Do NOT leave them on the burner or they will continue to cook and be well done and dry.
- Season with salt & pepper. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Nutritional information is based on the eggs & butte only - since the salt & pepper is by taste.
