Scrambled eggs and toast make a simple, yummy breakfast. The soft eggs are easy to make, and crunchy toast adds a nice contrast. It’s a quick meal perfect for busy mornings.
I sometimes sprinkle a little cheese or pepper on my eggs. It makes me smile to start the day with something warm and comforting!
If you like, add fruits or a glass of juice. It’s a healthy way to get some vitamins and keep breakfast fun and easy.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Fresh eggs give the best fluffy texture. I find 2-3 eggs per person works well. If you prefer a richer taste, add a splash of milk or cream. As an alternative, egg substitutes can be used, but they may alter the fluffiness.
Milk or Cream: A splash makes scrambled eggs creamier and softer. I like about 1 tablespoon per 2 eggs. For a dairy-free option, try almond or soy milk. Skip entirely if you want a firmer texture, but results will differ.
Butter: Adds richness and a nice flavor to the eggs. Use about 1 teaspoon per batch. I prefer unsalted butter so I can control the salt. Olive oil can be a healthier substitute, but it gives a different taste.
Salt & Pepper: Basic seasonings to enhance flavor. I suggest a pinch of salt and a little pepper per batch. For more flavor, try onion powder or paprika. Adjust to taste—less salt for low-sodium needs.
Bread: For toasting. I recommend quality bread like sourdough or whole wheat. To switch it up, try bagels or English muffins for variety. Toast until golden for the perfect crunch.
How do I scramble eggs without them turning rubbery?
Cook eggs slowly over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. This prevents overcooking. Remove from heat as soon as they just set; they will finish cooking with residual heat. Patience is key—quick high heat makes them tough and dry.
- Warm the pan gently and add butter or oil before pouring in eggs.
- Stir continuously with a spatula to keep them light and smooth.
- Take the eggs off heat slightly before they look fully cooked—they’ll finish with the residual warmth.
