Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Fat

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Finish

  • 1 tablespoon sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously until fully combined. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Cook the eggs: Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and melt the butter evenly across the pan. Pour in the eggs and stir constantly with a rubber spatula, scraping the edges and bottom, to form soft curds without letting them dry out.
  3. Add sour cream: When the eggs are soft and still slightly runny, gently stir in the sour cream. This enriches the eggs and imparts a creamy, smooth texture.
  4. Finish cooking: Continue cooking the eggs slowly, stirring gently until they are just set but remain moist. Remove the pan from heat just before the eggs are fully cooked to prevent overcooking.
  5. Serve: Transfer the creamy scrambled eggs immediately to warm plates and enjoy the rich, custardy texture while hot.

Notes

  • Use low heat throughout to prevent tough, rubbery eggs.
  • Constant stirring is key to achieving soft curds and even cooking.
  • Add sour cream slowly to keep the eggs creamy and moist.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • Butter not only adds flavor but helps regulate cooking temperature and texture.
