Just keep an eye on the texture of the eggs — you'll know when it's time for the next step.I popped my bread into the toaster while my eggs were cooking.Nothing beats the combo of creamy eggs on crunchy toast.As the eggs began to clump, I started stirring more rapidly.I made sure to scrape the bottom of the pan as I stirred.When the eggs were almost cooked, I turned off the heat.I continued to stir the eggs rapidly until they were soft and custardy. It took me about eight minutes total to cook the eggs."When you pull the spatula through the eggs, they will still be soft, but they will stay in place," Garten writes in her cookbook.I sprinkled cheese over my eggs and seasoned them with some freshly ground black pepper.My eggs looked silky, golden, and creamy — the three things I always want in a great scramble.
