perfect scrambled eggs
👨🍳 Chefy Tip: Whisk until completely uniform — no visible streaks. Butter should foam gently, not brown. Stir continuously with a silicone spatula, scraping the pan bottom so the curds form evenly. Remove from heat when they still look wetter than done — residual pan heat finishes them off off the stove.

Crack eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until fully combined with no streaks of white.
Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low heat. Don't let it brown.
Pour in the eggs. Let them sit undisturbed for 20 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the eggs toward the center in slow, sweeping strokes.
Every 15–20 seconds, pull the pan off the heat for a few seconds while continuing to stir — this slows cooking and keeps curds soft.
Remove from heat when the eggs look slightly underdone and still glossy — carryover heat finishes them.
Plate immediately. Top with chives if using.
Egg proteins begin denaturing around 70°C — high heat causes rapid, tight contraction that squeezes out water and produces rubbery curds. Low heat denatures proteins slowly, allowing loose, moist curds to form before water is expelled.
