Soft-Scrambled Eggs

Soft Scrambled Eggs on a plate with chives and toasted bread
  • Serves:  3
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  5 min

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

For Serving (optional)

  • Flaky salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs, we like chives, basil or dill

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with the salt until pale yellow, about 30 seconds.

  2. Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. Once the butter is melted and is beginning to bubble, pour in the eggs. Using a rubber spatula begin pushing the eggs across the pan. Cook, continuing to push the eggs across the pan until just barely set, about 2 minutes.

  4. Transfer the eggs to 3 plates. Serve warm with flaky salt, pepper, and herbs (if using).
