It might surprise you to learn that scrambled eggs should be cooked slowly on a very low heat. It's tempting to fire up a batch of scrambled eggs quickly in the morning, but it really should take about 5 minutes of slow stirring to get the most moist, tender eggs.

Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Beat the eggs in a small bowl with a fork. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low to low heat. Add the eggs and the butter to the pan. Stir constantly to allow the eggs to set up evenly. A silicone spatula is perfect for this. Keep the heat on low or medium-low, but no higher. A higher heat will cause the curds to harden and dry. It should take at least 5 minutes for the eggs to properly scramble. If they start to set up too quickly, remove the pan from the heat for a few seconds and continue to stir. If they are taking too long to set up, add just a little more heat to the pan, but be patient and resist the temptation to cook over too high a heat.
-
When the eggs are cooked to your liking, stir in the herbs and season with salt and pepper.

Serve over a nice thick slice of toasted rustic bread. Heaven.
