Notes
- When added to uncooked eggs, pepper will turn them gray. Add pepper after the eggs are done cooking if desired.
- Using a whisk, rather than a fork, to beat the eggs will more evenly distribute the egg whites and yolks.
- Higher fat butter, like European-style butter, will produce richer scrambled eggs.
