Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 5 tablespoons milk
  • 1 pat of butter
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground pepper
  • Chives or parsley to garnish

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine eggs and milk with a fork. In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Stir a pinch of kosher salt into egg mixture then pour into pan, stirring slowly with a heat resistant rubber spatula. As soon as curds begin to form, increase heat to high and instead of stirring, use the spatula to fold the eggs over themselves while gently shaking the pan with your other hand. As soon as no more liquid is running around the bottom of the pan, remove from the heat and serve. Season with fresh black pepper and garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Remember: if they look done in the pan, they'll be over-done on the plate.

    I have never ever eaten scrambled eggs without ketchup. Because all the scrambled eggs I've ever had....have been lousy. "Where did the sweetness come from?" I asked myself as I licked the plate. No need for ketchup. Go make this right now!!!!

    Tip: Once you turn the heat to high, they finish cooking VERY quickly. Scoop that awesomeness onto the plate as soon as almost no more liquid is in the pan.

    T-H-E B-E-S-T. Made these in about 5 minutes. Hubby and I ate them in about 2 minutes. I will never make scrambles any other way. Quick and delicious.

    Every once in a while a recipe comes along that makes you create a profile to review it, this is the one for me!

    After hitting up the local brunch places every weekend to get the perfect scrambled eggs compared to the rubbery stuff that i make at home, i looked up Alton's recipe and lo and behold, i just finished eating the most perfect, fluffiest, buttery scrambled eggs. And no more going to diners/brunch when i can whip up five star quality just at home. My brunches will never be the same again!

    If you think perfect eggs are a myth, make these eggs and think again!
