Chef's Tips

Low and slow is the key to creamy scrambled eggs. Avoid high heat.

Don't overcook the eggs, they will continue to cook from the residual heat.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of your favorite herbs like chives or parsley.

A splash of cream instead of milk will make the eggs even richer.
