    Ingredients for Scrambled Eggs

    Please find the full list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe card at the end of the post. 

    • Eggs – I use free range or organic eggs.
    • Seasonings - salt and black pepper.
    • Butter – use salted or unsalted butter.
    • Cream - I use single cream but you can use double cream for a richer flavour.
    • Herbs - use chives or parsley to add extra flavour to the eggs.

    How to Make Creamy Scrambled Eggs

    1. To a small bowl, add the eggs and whisk with a fork or wire whisk. Add the salt and black pepper then set the bowl aside.

    2. Place a small non stick pan on a low to medium heat then add the butter and allow to melt. Mix in the cream then pour in the whisked eggs and combine with the butter and cream.

    3. As the eggs begin to set, use a wooden spoon to gently stir and fold the eggs. Allow the eggs to set further then stir and fold again. Continue this process until you have your desired consistency then remove the eggs from the heat, sprinkle with chives and serve.

    Recipe Tips

    • Ensure you use a non-stick pan for the eggs.
    • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve more.
