Basic Scrambled Eggs Recipe
- 6 large eggs
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves (optional)
- Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl and until broken up.
- Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper and beat to incorporate.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the eggs in a small bowl; set aside.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
- Add butter to the pan and, using a rubber spatula, swirl until its melted and foamy and the pan is evenly coated.
- Pour in the larger portion of the eggs, sprinkle with chives and/or tarragon (if using), and let sit undisturbed until eggs just start to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using the rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges into the center.
- Let sit again for about 30 seconds, then repeat pushing the eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds until just set, for a total cooking time of about 5 minutes.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons raw egg and stir until eggs no longer look wet.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately.
