This is a simple recipe for scrambled eggs.

5 min

Ingredients

Eggs
Butter, margarine, oil or cooking spray (enough to coat pan)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Steps

Heat frying pan (non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron is preferable) to medium, and add enough butter, oil, or cooking spray to coat bottom.
Crack desired number of eggs into a bowl.
Add milk or water to eggs, if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste (other herbs and spices may be used as well).
Beat eggs gently with fork or whisk for 15–20 seconds. It is not necessary to make a completely uniform mixture.
Add egg mixture to heated, greased pan.
With a spatula or spoon (avoid metal tools if using teflon pan), continuously and gently scrape cooked egg from pan. The length of time and the frequency with which you scrape will determine the consistency of the eggs and is a matter of personal preference. The time will vary from 30 seconds to 3 or more minutes depending on number and type of eggs, size and heat of pan, and personal preference.
Grease bowl before cracking one to two eggs into bowl. Mix gently.
Microwave on high for 40 seconds to 2 minutes. Actual cooking time will vary. A rule of thumb is to watch eggs for entire time and stop microwave when entire mixture has risen somewhat. If it explodes, you waited too long. Egg(s) will come out in shape of the bowl; depending on the size of the bowl, this method is very useful for making an appropriate size egg patty for a sandwich.
Heat a non-stick frying pan with the bottom covered in butter, margarine, oil or cooking spray over medium heat.
Crack eggs directly into pan.
Immediately begin mixing while lightly sprinkling with salt for 5 seconds.
Continue mixing until eggs are thoroughly scrambled and mixed.
Turn off heat, and wait 1 minute for eggs to cool.
