Perfect scrambled eggs

What's your recipe? Do you just scramble them and put them in a pan? Do you add stuff to them? I always learned: eggs, a little salt, a little melted butter and a little fresh water make the fluffiest eggs.

Eggs, tonys, splash of water or milk, cook
its the simplest damn thing in the world

dunno about "perfect," but my method is:
crack 3 eggs in a bowl
add salt & pepper
add a dash of milk (sometimes)
beat/whisk
pour into a cast iron skillet that I just cooked bacon in (I like cooking in bacon grease rather than butter)
cooked on medium-high heat until just done (i.e. - still plenty of moisture in them)
I hate when people cook scrambled eggs and they're so overcooked they've turned into little pellets. a proper scrambled egg should look like this

I always say, "Done in the skillet, overcooked on the plate." You want to remove them from heat about 30 seconds before they're cooked all the way through.

Too much white. There should be zero.

Since I found this recipe awhile back it's my go to now. You can add cheese, ham, Tony's or whatever you like. These are the best I've ever had. LINK

I also cook them on medium low and don't add the salt and pepper until about half way through. I saw Wolfgang Puck give some explanation as to why you don't want to salt them before you start to cook them.

I don't understand some people's insistence on cooking eggs in a cast iron skillet.

yeah, it's hard enough to clean the nonstick

Cook bacon first. Leave a bit of bacon grease in the skillet. Do not put in a bowl and wisk, simply crack the eggs and pour them in (be quick) stir them and they are ready in less than a minute. Add salt and pepper.

And you will have streaky eggs with no volume.

And those eggs weren't cooked in bacon grease.

Which do not taste wet.

little fresh water make the fluffiest eggs.
So, whisk your face off until you see a bazillion bubbles....boom, fluffy eggs.

Yeah, this. If Im feeling a bit frisky I will include things such as cheese, onions, green onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, and/or meats.

Thanks for the tips, all. One of the most simple things to make but a lot of different "tricks".

I whisk 3 eggs with a fork, add salt and white pepper and half an egg shell of milk.
Heat a non stick pan with a couple tbsp olive oil on med-high and once the eggs hit the pan, I reduce to med-low. Stir them in the pan with a silicone heat resistant spatula, so they don't stick.
I don't like the eggs scorched. No brown marks.. Bright yellow and cooked all the way through.
