This dish has fluffy scrambled eggs cooked soft and creamy, served with crispy toast. It’s a simple breakfast or quick snack that tastes good any time of day.
When I make this, I like to add a pinch of salt and pepper. Sometimes I sprinkle cheese or herbs for extra flavor—it’s fun to make it my own!
To save time, I toast the bread while the eggs cook. Using whole wheat toast can make the meal a little healthier, and it’s just as tasty.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Fresh eggs give the best texture and flavor. I like large eggs for their rich yolk. If I want fewer yolks, use egg whites or half eggs; just keep in mind it changes the richness and creaminess.
Butter: Butter adds flavor and helps prevent sticking. I prefer unsalted butter for control over salt, but margarine works in a pinch. For a dairy-free option, olive oil gives a nice, light flavor.
Milk or Cream: Adds creaminess and helps scramble fluffy. I use a splash of milk or cream, but almond milk or soy milk can replace it for dairy-free versions without sacrificing fluffiness.
Toasted Bread: Brings crunch and contrast. Any bread works—white, whole wheat, or sourdough—but I love a sturdy toast like multigrain for better dipping.
How do I scramble eggs without ending up with a rubbery texture?
Start on low heat to cook eggs gently. Constantly stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom, to keep curds soft. Remove from heat when still slightly runny—they’ll finish cooking off heat and stay tender.
- Use low heat so eggs cook slowly and evenly.
- Stir frequently, scraping the pan’s bottom to prevent sticking and overcooking.
- Take eggs off the heat a little early; residual heat will finish cooking them.
