I know what you’re thinking: Do I really need a recipe and techniques for scrambled eggs? If you just want a plate of scrambled eggs, no. But if you want creamy, yummy, perfect scrambled eggs, then yes. Yes, you do.
Thanks to my husband Tom who found this recipe online, I get to eat these golden, custardy morsels for brekkie on a regular basis. Two years ago, he was on a mission to search the Net for the best scrambled eggs recipe; and by golly, he found it!!!

3 Techniques In Making The Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
1. Use cold eggs
2. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula—don’t whisk—making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan.
After 30 seconds, take the pan off the heat. Keep stirring. After about 10 seconds, put back on the heat. Repeat for 3 minutes. DO. NOT. OVERCOOK IT.
3. Add the heavy cream and seasoning at the very end.
