How do you make fluffy scrambled eggs?

 

Fluffy scrambled eggs are all about gentle heat, the right whisk, and just a little patience. Here’s how to make them perfectly:

---

🥚 Ingredients:

• 2–4 large eggs (depending on how hungry you are!)

• 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Butter or oil (for the pan)

---

🍳 Instructions:

1. Crack & Whisk:
   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of milk or cream (if using) and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy. This incorporates air, which = fluffier eggs.

2. Heat the Pan Low & Slow:
   Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat. Add a small knob of butter or a bit of oil. Let it melt gently, coating the pan.

3. Pour in the Eggs:
   Once the butter is melted but not browning, pour in the eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds—then use a silicone spatula to slowly push the eggs from the edges to the center.

4. Stir Gently:
   Continue gently folding the eggs, giving them time to cook slowly. You want soft curds, not dry bits.

5. Turn Off the Heat Early:
   Once the eggs look just slightly underdone (they’ll finish cooking with residual heat), remove the pan from the heat.

6. Season & Serve:
   Add a little pepper and any extras you like—fresh herbs, cheese, avocado, etc.

✨ Pro Tips:

• Don’t overcook! The key to fluffy eggs is pulling them off heat while still slightly glossy.

• Use a silicone spatula so you can gently fold without breaking up the curds too much.

• Optional add-ins: A bit of shredded cheese, herbs like chives or parsley, or even a dollop of sour cream stirred in right before serving.
