Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully blended.
Equipment: small bowl, whiskMelt the butter in a non-stick pan over low heat until it foams but doesn't brown.
low heatEquipment: non-stick panTip: Butter should foam but not brown—too much heat makes rubbery eggsPour the beaten eggs into the warm butter—they should sizzle gently on contact.
Let the eggs set undisturbed for 20 seconds, until the edges just begin to turn opaque.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center in slow, sweeping motions. Continue stirring gently until the eggs form soft curds and look slightly wet, about 2-3 minutes.
Equipment: silicone spatulaRemove from heat while still creamy—they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
Tip: The eggs will finish cooking from residual heat—better slightly underdone than overcookedToast the bread until lightly golden and crisp at the edges.
Equipment: toasterSpread butter on the toast if desired, top with the scrambled eggs, and season with a pinch of salt.
Notes
Storage
Best eaten immediately. Scrambled eggs don't reheat well, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Dairy-free option
Use olive oil or a dairy-free butter alternative instead of butter. Olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats and is equally gentle on the gut.
Gluten-free option
Use gluten-free white bread if needed. Ensure it's refined (not whole grain) to keep fiber low.
Add protein
Top with 2-3 slices of well-cooked, lean deli turkey or chicken for extra protein without added fiber.
Texture tip
The key to creamy eggs is low heat and removing them from the pan while still slightly wet. Overcooking makes them rubbery and harder to digest.
