If you don’t scramble eggs properly they will be dry and leathery. It is easy to overcook scrambled eggs. A non-stick skillet is best. The secret to soft, fluffy and creamy eggs is to cook them on medium heat. Some people add a little water, milk or cream to their eggs. Not necessary.
Melt enough butter or margarine or use a little oil to barely coat the bottom of a non-stick skillet on medium heat. When the skillet is warm pour in the eggs.
Wait 15 seconds for the edges to just begin to set. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. You want them to cook slowly. If the skillet seems too hot just take it off the burner. The residual heat will be enough to cook the eggs.
Now, using a rubber or silicon spatula, slowly keep moving the eggs around the pan until they are to your liking. Some people like them more wet and some people like them dryer. Remember that they will continue to cook a bit once they are plated. Cooking eggs on high heat will make them rubbery.
Add any of the following if you so desire to the beaten eggs: some ham, crumbled cooked bacon, grated cheese, cooked mushrooms, finely diced bell pepper, green onion, parsley ...
