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:


πŸ₯š 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.
