The primary ingredient in scrambled eggs is eggs, specifically hen eggs. When preparing scrambled eggs, whole eggs are typically whisked and then cooked over low to medium heat, often with some form of fat, such as butter or oil, to prevent sticking. The cooking process involves stirring the eggs to create soft, fluffy curds. Milk or cream can be added for a richer flavor and creamier texture, but it is not necessary. Scrambled eggs are a popular breakfast dish and can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and various herbs for added flavor.
