The secret to soft and creamy scrambled eggs isn't some fancy ingredients, but using the right cooking methods. Here are some simple tips for rich and fluffy eggs.
Fresh eggs have denser yolks and firmer whites that give your eggs a velvety texture and richer flavour.
Give the eggs a good whisk until the whites and yolks have combined properly, adding air and making the eggs fluffier.
Some cream, a spoonful of butter or a splash of milk can make the texture of your eggs richer and silkier.
Cooking on high heat results in rubbery and dry eggs, while low heat keeps them smooth and creamy.
To avoid large, dry chunks, use a spatula to slowly stir and fold the eggs consistently, resulting in small, soft curds.
Remove the eggs from the heat when they're slightly undercooked, as the remaining heat on the pan will finish cooking them perfectly.
It is best to add salt before cooking to get an even seasoning and add herbs or ground black pepper after they are cooked or right before serving.
Scrambled eggs are best eaten right after getting off the stove, as they are the creamiest then.
