Quick tips

Follow these simple tips for the best results when making the scrambled egg recipe

  • Use a nonstick pan. If you don't use a nonstick skillet, your eggs can stick to the bottom of the pan even if it's greased well.
  • Use a lower heat setting. The best way to make softer eggs is to use slower cooking over a lower heat seating. Cook them over medium-low heat and stir them every minute or two after they start to set. Slow cooking also results in the fluffiest eggs.
  • Don't overcook. If you cook off all the water, you can end up with rubbery eggs. So be sure to remove the eggs from the pan immediately after they have set to your liking.

Instructions

Just follow these simple steps for the best fluffy scrambled eggs!

Prepare the pan

Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. If you don't like butter, you can use coconut, avocado, or olive oil. If you're in a rush, you can use medium-high heat, but your eggs won't come out as fluffy.

Make egg mixture

Take your eggs and cream and whisk them together in a small mixing bowl. You want to make sure you beat them well so that the egg yolks are broken up well into the egg whites. The mixture should be light and foamy.

You can use a fork or a whisk. If you're making a large batch, you may want to use an electric stand mixer or hand mixer.

This basic recipe for the perfect scrambled eggs needs nothing more than a sprinkling of salt and a grind of black pepper to be enjoyed. However, there are endless ways to add extra flavor.

The fat helps create more air bubbles in the eggs while they are cooking, making them fluffier.
