Scrambled Eggs on Toast

Mise en place

Ingredients

The method

Step by step

1. 1

   Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.

2. 2

   Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

3. 3

   Whisk the egg mixture vigorously with a fork until well combined and slightly frothy.

   About 1 min

   Cook’s note: Whisking well incorporates air, making the eggs fluffier.

4. 4

   Toast the bread to your desired crispness.

   About 3 min

   Cook’s note: You can use a toaster or a pan for this.

5. 5

   Melt the butter in a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

   About 1 min

   Cook’s note: Keep the heat low to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly.

6. 6

   Pour the egg mixture into the pan.

7. 7

   Let the eggs set for about 30 seconds without stirring.

8. 8

   Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

   About 2 min

   Cook’s note: Continue this motion until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.

9. 9

   Remove the pan from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked to prevent overcooking.

   Cook’s note: The residual heat will finish cooking them to perfection.

10. 10

    Serve the scrambled eggs immediately on top of the toasted bread.
