Mark Bittman’s Best Scrambled Eggs

DIRECTIONS

• Crack eggs into a bowl; beat them just until the yolks and whites are combined.
• Season with salt and pepper; beat in the cream.
• Place a medium skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat for about 1 minute.
• Add in butter and swirl it around the pan; after the butter melts, but before it foams, turn the heat to low.
• Add eggs to skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
• At first, nothing will happen; after 10 minutes or so, the eggs will begin to form curds.
• Do not lose patience; keep stirring, breaking up the curds as they form, until the mixture is a mass of soft curds.
• This will take 30 minutes or more; serve immediately.
