Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Want to make the perfect scrambled eggs on a weekend? Truth is, scrambled eggs are easy to make. Unfortunately, cooking scrambled eggs may easily go wrong as well because most people make the mistake in overcooking them.

Start off with three eggs in your pan along with a nice wad of butter. Butter adds a nice velvety finish to your scrambled eggs. Very important - do not season the eggs before cooking! When salt is heated, the components of salt will break down the egg, and your scrambled eggs will end up runny and watery.

Place your pan on medium-high heated stove. Now, take your spatula and begin whisking your eggs with the butter in the pan while it's being heated. Continue whisking on stove, and then take pan off the stove right before you see it begin thickening and continue whisk for another 10 seconds. Repeat the last step for 2 or 3 more times (whisking on and off the heat in 10 second increments), and you will realize your egg to be thickening. When you see that your egg is thick with a velvety texture, add some crème fraîche while the pan is off the stove; this will bring down the temperature and cool your eggs as you mix it in.

Now will be a good time to season your eggs with salt and pepper. Depending on preference, feel free to add some chopped chives and/or smoked salmon and mix them into your scrambled eggs! These will add and lift the flavor of your eggs and give it a little extra something!

And there you have the perfect scrambled eggs. Perfect to bring to your loved one on a Sunday morning, whether it be your boyfriend or girlfriend, mom or dad, husband or wife.

Bon appétit!
