How to Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs (The Best Step-By-Step Method)

To start, you will want to crack your large eggs into a large bowl and whisk vigorously for roughly 1-2 minutes (this is the first secret to making fluffy eggs).

Once all of your eggs are mixed, add the milk, salt and pepper and continue mixing. You want the milk to be blended right into the egg mixture. In the end, it should all look one color.

Turn your stovetop on low-medium heat and set your frying pan on top. Make sure to use a non-stick pan.

Add the butter and once it begins to melt, move the butter around to coat the entire pan and then immediately dump your whisked eggs inside. Allow this to cook for about 2-3 minutes until you start to see the edges cook a bit.

Take your silicone spatula and gently push the egg mixture from the outside edges inward towards the middle. You will start to see the eggs “fluff” up right in front of your eyes. Continue doing this step until your eggs start cooking and getting nice and fluffy. The secret to these eggs is cooking slow and fluffing the eggs as they cook.

Once you see that most of the milk is cooked out, you can turn off the heat and remove the eggs from the pan.

Serve and Enjoy!

Key Takeaways:

There are really 3 main secrets when it comes to cooking the best fluffy eggs. These are:

• Adding milk (or a milk alternative – see my suggestions below) – This gives them a creamy consistency, taste and texture
• Whisking vigorously for several minutes – this helps create air bubbles in the egg mixture allowing them to become light and fluffy
• Cooking low and slow – This ensures the moisture can stay inside the eggs helping give that melt-in-your-mouth texture and buttery taste

What is the secret ingredient for scrambled eggs?

For my fluffy scrambled eggs recipe, milk and butter are the secret ingredients to making fluffy eggs.

Why do people put milk in eggs?

People put milk in eggs to give the eggs a creamy and fluffy texture. It also makes your eggs moist, light and fluffy.

How can you make scrambled eggs to make them taste better?

You can several different toppings and ingredients to help your scrambled eggs taste better including:

• Cheese – your favorite shredded cheese can be mixed into the warm eggs or placed on top.
• Hot sauce – Drizzle a bit of your favorite hot sauce on top.
• Salsa – Use fresh pico de gallo or store-bought salsa for a little kick of flavor.
• Fresh herbs and spices – Add some red pepper flakes, parsley, chives, green onions and black pepper on top.
• Vegetables – Dice up some fresh vegetables and add them to the pan while cooking or cook them in a separate nonstick pan and then add to the scrambled eggs once they are done cooking. Onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach are all great options.
• Meat – Add cooked bacon, diced ham, diced sausage (even turkey sausage), and even smoked salmon (just make sure they are all cooked thoroughly beforehand).

Helpful Tips For Making Perfect Fluffy Eggs

• You need to ensure you add milk instead of water. You can also use a milk substitute (almond milk, oat milk, soy milk), sour cream, heavy whipping cream, half and half, or cottage cheese.
• Do not add the butter to your pan until right before you pour your egg mixture into it or you will end up getting an ugly browning on the bottom of your eggs.
• Make sure you scramble the eggs using a fork or whisk, vigorously.
• Cook the eggs SLOW and I am talking low to medium-low heat. As they cook, slowly take a spatula and push the eggs towards the center. Continue doing this until they are cooked. Yes it is more time-consuming but it helps ensure they end up fluffy. Trust the process!
• Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• You can use olive oil instead of butter.
• You will use roughly 2 eggs per person so using 6 large eggs in this recipe, will make about 3 servings.
