Who doesn't love starting the day with delicious, light, and fluffy scrambled eggs? I know my family does! Scrambled eggs are among the first dishes I've taught my boys to cook.
It's a relatively simple dish and a great way to start in the kitchen. This scrambled eggs recipe is a great breakfast option; customize it however you like!
My family likes it with a side of oven-baked bacon and homemade biscuits. It is also tasty and stuffed into a tortilla with tomatillo sauce or pico de Gallo for an easy breakfast burrito or taco.
How to Make Scrambled Eggs
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Whisk the eggs, pepper, salt, milk, and granulated garlic in a large bowl. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a wide nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
Add the eggs and cook, folding them almost constantly with a rubber spatula to form large curds, for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off 30 seconds before the eggs reach your desired doneness; the residual heat will finish cooking them for you.
When the eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the chopped green onion or chives. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
