 How to Cook Scrambled Eggs

4 eggs, at room temperature

1/4 cup whole milk

1 Tablespoon butter

Salt & Pepper to taste

1. Crack your eggs into your mixing bowl and use your whisk to whisk your eggs until they are thoroughly blended.
2. Whisk eggs and milk until mixture is a pale yellow and add salt and pepper. Whisk again until your arms hurt, or use an electric beater to get as much air in as possible.
3. Add butter to your sauté pan and heat on medium to medium-low until it is hot enough to make a drop of water hiss when added.
4. Add egg mixture and let it cover the inside bottom of the pan.
5. Add any extras now. *
6. As the eggs cook, push one side toward the center with your spatula and tilt the pan to make the uncooked mixture fill in the empty part of the pan.
7. Continue to do this on all sides until there is no liquid left.
8. Turn off the burner and gently stir the eggs until they are almost done.
