 You don’t need a chef’s training or fancy tools.

Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your kids, or a weekend brunch, this guide will teach you how to make perfect scrambled eggs every single time — in under 5 minutes.

 The Secret to Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Perfect scrambled eggs come down to three things:
Low and slow heat – Prevents overcooking
Constant stirring – Creates soft, even curds
Taking them off the heat early – They finish cooking on the plate
 It’s not magic — it’s method.

Whisk just until blended — don’t overbeat.
Heat the pan
Place a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-low heat.
Add butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan.
Don’t let it brown.
Pour in the eggs
Add the egg mixture to the pan.
Let it sit for 10 seconds to start setting at the edges.
Stir gently and constantly
Use a silicone spatula to push the eggs from the edges toward the center
Let uncooked egg flow into the empty space.
