Crack and beat the eggs: Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and beat with a whisk or fork until egg yolk and egg whites are well combined.
4 large eggs
Preheat the pan: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat and add the oil. You can use a brush to spread the oil evenly.
1 tablespoon oil
Pour in eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds (around 15). Don't let them sit any longer or they will set too much.
Stir gently: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the eggs. Keep cooking and stirring until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remember that they will continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the heat, so it's better to slightly undercook them in the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add toppings (optional): If you're adding any toppings, such as grated cheese sprinkle over the eggs while they're still slightly runny on the top.
Remove from heat: Once the scrambled eggs reach the desired consistency (they should still look slightly moist), remove the pan from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Serve immediately with garnishes of choice!

Notes
Choose good quality eggs. Start with high-quality eggs, preferably organic or free-range, for best results.
Whisk eggs thoroughly. This not only helps incorporate air, making your eggs fluffier.
Use a non-stick skillet. Or a well-seasoned cast-iron pan. These surfaces make it easier to cook the eggs without sticking and allow for easy clean-up.
Preheat the pan. This ensures even cooking and prevents the eggs from sticking to the surface.
Don't overcook. Let the egg mix sit in the pan untouched for no longer than 15-20 seconds. When the edges are starting to set, it's already too late and you'll end up with an omlette-like texture.
Constant stirring. This helps ensure even cooking and prevents any parts from overcooking or sticking to the pan.
