    Are your scrambled eggs failing to turn out the way you would like or somewhat different every time you make them – sometimes watery, other times rubbery? Admittedly, they can be a hard thing to master, so here is a quick how to make scrambled eggs guide and video to help you make them perfectly, every single time!

    Scrambled eggs, cooked well are utterly soft, creamy and delicious. You can serve them simply, on some nice crusty toast or, if you are looking for something a little more special, why not try some of our other recipes which really take things up a notch. So sleep in, settle in and serve up your favourite cafe brunch at home this weekend! 

    Scrambled Eggs

    How to Make Scrambled Eggs

    The secret to this recipe lies in the cooking of the egg and, more importantly the gentle sweeping of the egg in the frypan. Be patient and you will be rewarded in the form of creamy, moist eggs!

    INGREDIENTS
    4 eggs
    100mL milk
    Knob of butter
    Salt & Pepper
    Small handful of fresh chives
    2 slices of sourdough bread

    METHOD

    1. GET PREPPED
    Break the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt and pepper, and gently whisk.

    2. GET COOKING
    Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, swirling it to coat the bottom. Pour in the eggs, and leave for 20 seconds.

    3. STIR GENTLY
    Now, use a wooden paddle or spatula (with a flat edge) to sweep the eggs around the pan. As the cooked egg builds into fluffy curds pushed by the paddle, the uncooked egg pools over the hot surface of the pan ready to be swept up as well; so that neither overcook. Do one last sweep of the paddle to bring it together, then remove from the heat, as the eggs will continue to cook in the heat of the pan.

    4. SERVE UP
    Divide the eggs between two slices of sourdough toast, scatter with chives and a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Once you have the basics nailed, you can really go gourmet! For some other ways to serve your perfectly scrambled eggs, take a look at some of these scrumptious recipes…
