1. 1

   For scrambled eggs: crack eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.

2. 2

   Heat butter in a non-stick pan over low-medium heat — low heat is the secret to creamy eggs.

3. 3

   Pour in eggs and let them sit for 20 seconds, then gently fold with a spatula.

4. 4

   Continue folding slowly, removing from heat while still slightly underdone — residual heat finishes them.

5. 5

   For boiled eggs: place in cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer 6 min (soft) or 10 min (hard).
