This recipe is as low-effort as it gets. If you’re broke, tired, or hungover — scrambled eggs are your best friend. One pan. One fork. One bowl. Done in under 10 minutes. Welcome to student things at their finest.

Ingredients

2–3 eggs (depending on your hunger and budget)
1 tbsp milk or water (optional, but it makes them fluffier)
Salt and pepper
Butter, margarine, or oil
Optional: toast, cheese, ketchup, whatever you got

Instructions

Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt, pepper. Beat with a fork until it’s all one shade of yellow.
Heat butter in a pan. When it’s melted and a bit bubbly, pour the eggs in.
Use a spatula to gently stir. Push the eggs around slowly. Take off heat when they still look a little wet — they’ll finish cooking from heat.
Serve as is. Eat from the pan if you’re out of clean plates. Respect.
