Perfect scrambled eggs are the result of a thorough and vigorous whisking of the eggs before cooking. Scrambled eggs with more volume and texture can be achieved by whisking in air before cooking.
This method of cooking is similar to the preliminary stages of producing an omelet. The curds are larger and fluffier because the eggs are broken up gently at the end. Turning off the heat before the eggs are fully cooked is another great tip.
The usual issue of overcooked scrambled eggs is mitigated by this method. Scrambled eggs that have turned brown on the bottom will be dry and rubbery.
Keep in mind that even after being transferred to a platter, scrambled eggs will continue cooking for a few more moments. The eggs should be transferred to the serving platter when they are slightly softer than you eventually want them to be due to residual or “carry-over” cooking.

How to Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
You can step aside, Gordon Ramsay (and I’m joking if he reads this, in which case, heyyy! We’re preparing the easiest, most delicious scrambled eggs ever. Eggs, milk, salt, a little butter, and five minutes are all you need.
The end product is protein- and flavor-packed eggs with a velvety texture. One of the most adaptable morning meals is scrambled eggs. They are ideal for both rushed weekday mornings and relaxed weekend brunches due to the lack of preparation and planning required.
Use them to make Breakfast Burritos on Homemade Tortillas, or go with the tried-and-true method and serve them with some Crispy Oven-Baked Bacon. There are many methods to prepare them.
Ingredients
- Approximately 8 large eggs
- Milk, Whole, Half a Cup
- A pinch of salt
- Black or white pepper, freshly ground to taste
- 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter (or clarified butter).
Steps on How to Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Step 1: Get all the stuff you need.
Step 2: Separate the eggs into a glass bowl and whisk them until they’ve reached a light yellow color.
Step 3: Season the eggs with salt and white pepper to taste, then stir in the milk. Stir the eggs vigorously. If you’d rather not do that by hand, a whisk attachment for a kitchen stand mixer will do the trick. You want as much air to be beaten into the eggs as possible, so choose your tool accordingly. Keep in mind that it could save you time and effort to beat the eggs in two batches (four at a time) to avoid lumps.
Step 4: Prepare a medium-low flame in a large, heavy-bottomed, nonstick sauté pan. Butter should be added and allowed to melt.
Step 5: Drop a little water into the pan and wait for the hiss before adding the eggs. Keep the peace. Leave the eggs in the pan for up to a minute, or until the bottom just begins to set.
Step 6: Gently slide one edge of the egg into the center using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, then tilt the pan so the liquid egg can pour in underneath. Move on to the next edge, and so on, until there is no more liquid.
Step 7: After the uncooked portions of the egg have become firm, remove the pan from the heat and continue gently stirring and turning the egg. Keep the curds as large as possible and don’t scramble the egg. Quickly include any additional components that need to be added.
Step 8: The eggs are done when they are set but still wet and tender, so remove them from the pan while they are still warm. Due to their fragility, eggs will continue to cook for a few seconds after being served. Prepare right away and savor.
