Medium-low heat is the key to the fluffy, creamy, melty texture of these scrambled eggs. We like to serve them when they’re still runny, but keep them on the stove for another 15 seconds if you prefer them completely set. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Preparation
Step 1
Crack eggs into a medium bowl and add kosher salt. Using an immersion blender or whisk, whip eggs until completely homogenous and pale yellow in color, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Cook butter in an 8" nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When foam subsides, add eggs and cook, undisturbed, until a thin layer of cooked egg appears around the edge of the skillet. Using a rubber spatula and broad sweeping motions, push eggs all the way around the circumference of the skillet, then across the bottom. Continue to push eggs around and across skillet until fluffy and barely set, about 2 minutes; they should still look runny on top. Immediately divide between 2 plates and sprinkle with sea salt.
Feta and Za’atar
Step 3
Stir 2 Tbsp. crumbled feta and ¼ tsp. za'atar into eggs halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and more za'atar just before serving.
Parmesan and Basil
Step 4
Stir 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan and 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil into eggs halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and more basil just before serving.
Soy and Scallion
Step 5
Add ½ tsp. soy sauce to eggs before whipping. Stir 2 trimmed, thinly sliced scallions into eggs halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt just before serving.
Cream Cheese and Chives
Step 6
Stir 1 Tbsp. cream cheese and 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh chives into eggs halfway through cooking. Top with flaky sea salt and more chives just before serving.
Hot Cheddar
Step 7
Stir 2 Tbsp. grated cheddar into eggs halfway through cooking. Top with flaky sea salt and hot sauce just before serving.

Back to TopGood recipe, I always let mine go a bit longer, don't like them terribly runny. I would say if adding cream cheese to let it come to room temp before adding for good dispersion. The eggs are quick and not terribly hot, so you may not get the cheese to soften enough in the time it takes to cook the eggs.

These may be good for many, but not for me. I don’t like my eggs underdone…those are not poked enough for me.
