Scrambled eggs and toast is a simple, tasty breakfast. Soft, fluffy eggs cooked just right and crispy toast make a satisfying start to the day.
I like to add a little cheese or pepper to my eggs for extra flavor. Sometimes I toast my bread a bit more for crunch—I think that makes it even better!
For quick mornings, I pop the toast in the toaster while whisking my eggs. It’s fast and keeps me happy until lunch!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Use large fresh eggs for the best flavor. I recommend whisking them well for fluffy eggs. If you want a milder taste, some people swap part of the eggs with egg whites — just adjust the flavor and texture a bit.
Butter: Butter makes the eggs creamy and rich. I prefer unsalted butter so I can control the salt. For a healthier or dairy-free option, try margarine or olive oil. A little butter goes a long way to flavor.
Milk or Cream: Adding a splash keeps eggs moist and soft. I often use a teaspoon of milk; cream makes them extra tender. If you’re out, a little water or leave it out entirely—your eggs will still taste good!
Toaster & Bread: Thick slices like Texas toast give a satisfying crunch. I like whole wheat or sourdough. For a quick swap, any sturdy bread works. Toast until golden for the perfect base.
How do I scramble eggs without overcooking them?
Start with low heat so eggs cook gently. Keep stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning. Remove from heat just before they’re fully set—they’ll keep cooking on residual heat. Patience is key for soft, fluffy eggs.
- Use low to medium-low heat to control cooking speed.
- Stir gently and continuously once eggs start to set.
- Take them off heat slightly before they’re fully firm; they’ll finish cooking off the stove.
