Eggs and butter. That’s all you need for truly amazing scrambled eggs. Unfortunately, eggs and butter are also the key ingredients in really bad scrambled eggs, the rubbery, flavorless kind you find too often in diners and restaurants.

The fact is, your eggs will always live and die by how they’re handled on the stovetop. Cook them too long and you extract the moisture and, with it, the flavor. But if you cook them gently and slowly, over low heat, you’ll have the best eggs you’ve ever tasted. Crack them directly into the pan and, instead of scrambling them, slowly push them about with a rubber spatula.

The whites stay white, the yolks a rich yellow. After a few minutes, you have scrambled eggs that are deeply flavored and wonderfully soft. It’s that simple, and they are that good.

You whip em real good in a bowl and add milk. never heard of breaking eggs in a pan for scrambled eggs, must be a Yankee way of doin it. ; )

That's the version most cook books offer. A little water can be used instead of milk. Mixing them in pan are not scrambled eggs, rather they're mixed eggs. But to egg lovers (and I'm one) they're good any way you make them.

Well. for a French Omelet then yes.

This is how my grandfather did it. He’d let them sit for fifteen or twenty seconds in the pan, then drag a spatula through them, letting the runny uncooked part fill the gap made by the spatula. Then he’d leave them be another fifteen seconds, and repeat. So light and fluffy, the very best way to make them. He got very cross if he saw someone continually agitating the eggs.

I just use a dab because my skillets are well seasoned. By the way, I love belonging to a chat site on which we discuss the nuances of bacon grease.

I might give that a try. I love my cast iron, but they do get heavy.

My favorite egg breakfast is one diced potato, 1/2 diced onion, 1/2 diced pepper and some ham diced up. season with salt/pepper and some garlic.

Cook all that in some olive oil until it has a home-fries consistency, add some cheese and jalapeños then dump in a 1/2 dozen scrambled eggs and cook until everything solidifies.

Good for two or three people.
