How to make perfect scrambled eggs

Anne Shooter, who was trained as a professional cook at Leiths School of Food and Wine in UK, shared her tips for cooking the perfect scrambled eggs.

How to make perfect scrambled eggs

Instead, mix your eggs in a bowl with a fork until there are no streaks.

Melt a generous knob of butter in a saucepan (it is easier to stir eggs in a saucepan than a frying pan), then add the eggs and cook, stirring, over a low to medium heat until the eggs are creamy and moist.

They will continue to cook for a minute or so after you take them off the heat, so take them off slightly early to avoid them becoming overdone.
