Healthy Recipes Healthy Ingredient Recipes Healthy Egg Recipes Diner-Style Scrambled Eggs Be the first to rate & review! These are the eggs you probably grew up eating: quick, easy to make, homey and comforting. A little butter adds richness. We use just a tiny amount of salt here, because it's easy to oversalt eggs. Pull them from the heat the instant they're done so they don't turn tough and rubbery. And as with all egg dishes, dig in right away—they're not getting any better as they cool off.

While butter melts, break eggs into a small bowl. Use a fork to beat them until completely blended and slightly frothy. Stir in the pepper and salt. Add egg mixture to pan; start pulling the eggs from the sides of the pan into the middle (the edges cook faster than the center). Big, fluffy curds will start to form—exactly what you want. Keep it up, pulling the eggs from around the pan for about 3 minutes. The second all the runny egg is fully set—there's an eggshell-thin line between fluffy, firm eggs and tough, dry ones—pull the pan from the heat and slide the eggs onto your plate.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
