Ingredients
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Cooking
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
To Serve
- Flaky salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs (chives, basil, or dill)
Instructions
- Beat the eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with the sea salt until the mixture turns pale yellow, about 30 seconds.
- Heat the butter: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter until it starts to bubble gently.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs across the pan continuously. Cook the eggs slowly, pushing them around until they are just barely set but still soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Serve: Immediately transfer the soft-scrambled eggs to three plates. Season with flaky salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs if using. Serve warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Cooking over medium-low heat is crucial to achieve the creamy softness.
- Do not overcook; remove the eggs from heat just before they are fully set as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
- Fresh herbs can be customized to your taste—try parsley or tarragon as alternatives.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
