For many people eggs are the ideal breakfast item but cooking them perfectly can actually be harder than we think.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has shared the one mistake many make when trying to cook scrambled eggs and shared his go-method.
It comes after a number of chefs warned against adding milk when making scrambled eggs as many believe it make the eggs taste rubbery.
Jamie Oliver's method takes around ten minutes and requires only eggs and unsalted butter - no milk.
He states when cooking scrambled eggs you should take them off the heat just before they are fully cooked to ensure the end result is right.

"It’s really important to remove them just before they’re ready, so that they’ll be just right by the time you come to eat them. ”
Method
- Crack the eggs into a measuring jug.
- Add a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then use a fork to beat them together well.
- Put a medium saucepan over a low heat and add the butter.
- Leave it to melt slowly, then when it starts to bubble carefully pour in the eggs.
- Stir slowly with a wooden spoon, or a spatula if you’ve got one, so you can get right to the edges of the pan.
- Keep gently stirring until the eggs still look silky, slightly runny and slightly underdone, and then remove from the heat – the heat of the pan will continue to cook the eggs to perfection.
- Serve with lightly buttered toast.
