Ingredients
Scrambled Eggs
Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat. Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with a fork. Pour the eggs into the pan, and stir with a spatula until the eggs begin to set.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. The eggs are cooked when they are solid, but with a little wetness to them. The eggs should have a sheen to them. Remove from the heat, and let the eggs continue to cook over the residual heat from the pan.
