Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- optional toppings (e.g., shredded cheese, chopped herbs)
Instructions
Crack all 12 eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the eggs vigorously until they are fully combined and frothy.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the entire bottom of the pan.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to gently drag the edges of the eggs toward the center of the pan, creating soft curds.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring gently with the spatula every 15-20 seconds to form soft, fluffy curds. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should remain slightly glossy and moist.
Remove the eggs from the heat just before they are fully set, as they will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat.
Allow the scrambled eggs to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until thoroughly heated.
Optional: Add toppings like shredded cheese or chopped herbs when reheating for added flavor and variety.
