Let’s start cooking

- The first thing to do is to crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
- Add the milk and whisk thoroughly.
- Grease the nonstick pan with vegetable oil or butter and allow to heat. Remember using melted butter gives it extra flavour but it still remains an option.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the heated pan and allow it to cook for a few seconds without stirring.
- At this stage make sure your stove is on low heat. That’s the best temperature for making scrambled eggs especially if you don’t want a burnt end product. Nobody enjoys burnt dishes though.
