Two important tips for cooking the 'perfect' scrambled eggs

One of the best breakfast dishes you can make is eggs, in whatever form you prefer.

While they’re often considered a quick, simple task, it turns out we’ve all been making the same two mistakes every time.

One woman has taken to TikTok to share her recipe for the ‘perfect’ scrambled eggs - and is reminding others to avoid two mistakes in particular.

TikTok user @myhealthydish, whose post has gone viral on the video app, shared a clip of her scrambled egg recipe, and says to avoid overcooking eggs and to cook on a low heat throughout.

Using a pan containing melted butter, she adds two eggs and milk and gently folds them, using the figure eight as an example, before adding chives.

She insists that gently folding the eggs is the best technique to use.

Most importantly, she says, is to make sure you cook on a low heat throughout, before removing the eggs from the pan while still “slightly undercooked”.

According to @myhealthydish, this is because eggs continue to cook on the plate.

She says to never overcook your eggs or else they’ll end up “rubbery”.

Fans of the video were quick to comment on the post, with one person writing: “You are exactly right”, while another said: “Everything looks perfect! My compliments to the chef!”.

A third wrote: ”Now I have only been doing this...and it’s amazing!!”.
