What to keep in mind.
7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Remove seeds from the tomato before dicing to prevent excess liquid from making the scramble watery.
- 2Use a non-stick skillet and a silicone spatula to avoid eggs sticking and to make folding easier.
- 3Cook vegetables just until tender-crisp so they retain texture against the soft eggs.
- 4Let the eggs rest for 20 seconds after pouring before stirring to develop a creamy curd structure.
- 5Take the pan off the heat while eggs still look slightly wet — residual heat finishes cooking without drying them out.
- 6Have your toast or plates ready before you start scrambling; eggs go from perfect to overcooked in seconds.
- 7For extra richness, swap the milk for a splash of heavy cream or crème fraîche.
