    • Notes

      *I recommend bringing eggs to room temperature before cooking for best results.

      **Milk adds moisture and creaminess to egg scrambles. Cream and non-dairy milks can be used if you prefer, but I prefer full-fat milk for the best texture.

      ***If using salted butter or if you’d like to reduce sodium, skip the salt.
