### Instructions
1. **Crack and Whisk the Eggs:**
In a bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. If using, pour in the milk or cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy. The more air you whip in, the fluffier the eggs will be.
2. **Heat the Pan:**
Place a non-stick skillet over **low to medium-low heat**. Add the butter and let it melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan.
3. **Add the Eggs:**
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
4. **Gently Stir:**
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center in slow, sweeping motions. Keep the heat low — patience is key! Stirring too fast or using high heat will result in tough eggs.
5. **Remove from Heat While Slightly Undercooked:**
When the eggs are about 90% set but still slightly glossy and soft, remove the pan from the heat. They’ll finish cooking from residual heat.
6. **Serve Immediately:**
Serve warm, as-is, or top with chopped herbs, shredded cheese, avocado, or hot sauce.

### Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs
* **Low and slow** is the golden rule. High heat will overcook your eggs before they have a chance to become fluffy.
* **Use fresh eggs** for the best texture and flavor.
* **Avoid over-seasoning early.** Salt can toughen the eggs if added too soon; add it just before or after cooking for softer results.
* **Don’t overcrowd the pan.** If you’re cooking more eggs, use a larger skillet to ensure even cooking.
* **Customize it!** Add sautéed vegetables, cheese, or cooked meats for a more filling version.
