Ingredient Breakdown
Eggs – Protein-packed and soft when cooked right
Butter – The star flavor; don’t skimp here
Garlic – Freshly chopped for aroma and depth
Milk – Lightens the sauce without heaviness
Corn Flour – Helps bind the sauce smoothly
Chilli Flakes & Pepper – Gentle heat and balance
Italian Seasoning – Adds complexity without overpowering
Coriander Leaves – Freshness at the end
Pro Tip 💡: Always cook scrambled eggs on high heat quickly, then remove them. Overcooking at this stage makes them rubbery later.
How Butter Garlic Eggs Come Together
You begin by whisking eggs with minimal seasoning — just enough to enhance, not dominate. Cooking them quickly in butter and oil ensures they stay soft and fluffy. Once done, they’re set aside — this step is crucial for texture.
In the same pan, butter melts gently and garlic is sautéed just until aromatic. This isn’t about browning — it’s about releasing flavor. Seasonings go in, followed by corn flour and warm milk, which transforms everything into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Once the sauce thickens slightly, the eggs go back in. A gentle toss coats every piece evenly, soaking up that garlic-butter goodness. A sprinkle of herbs and coriander finishes it off.
Pro Tip 💡: Keep the flame medium-low when adding milk to avoid curdling and lumps.
This butter garlic eggs recipe is a quick, creamy, and flavor-packed dish that's perfect for breakfast or dinner.
