Scrambled eggs: simple, satisfying, and always a good idea. But even the classics can use a remix, right? If you want to take your scrambled eggs from ordinary to eggstraordinary (sorry, we had to), we’re dishing up nine simple hacks to help you create the fluffiest, creamiest, most crave-worthy scrambled eggs!
And remember, the perfect scrambled eggs always start with Happy Egg, because tasty, orange yolks make all the difference.
1. Blender Scrambled Eggs
Got 15 seconds? Pop your eggs into a blender and give them a quick whirl before cooking. The blending incorporates air into the eggs, creating an ultra-fluffy, cloud-like texture.
2. Whisk with Seltzer for Extra Fluffy Eggs
Pour a splash of carbonated water (yep, plain old seltzer!) into your eggs before whisking. The bubbles create a lighter (and totally delicious), fluffy scramble.
3. Add Cottage Cheese for Extra Protein
Want creamy texture and a protein punch? Stir in a spoonful of cottage cheese into your scrambled eggs before cooking. The curds melt right into the eggs, adding extra richness that’s good for you, too.
4. Add Cornstarch for Silky Eggs
For the glossiest, most Instagrammable scrambled eggs, mix a pinch of cornstarch with a little water and whisk it into your eggs. The result? Silky-smooth eggs that look as good as they taste.
5. Add Sour Cream (or Crème Fraîche)
Stir in a dollop of sour cream for a tangy, creamy boost. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, swap it for crème fraîche. This scrambled egg hack creates luscious scrambled eggs that feel decadent without trying too hard.
6. Cook Low and Slow
If there’s one thing to remember about scrambled egg hacks: patience pays off. Cook your eggs on the lowest heat possible, stirring constantly, for a soft, custardy consistency. Trust us—rushing ruins everything.
7. Use Butter for Next-Level Flavor
Skip the cooking spray and go straight for butter. A knob of butter melts into the eggs as they cook, giving them layer-upon-layer of yummy, buttery flavor. Bonus points if you use cultured butter for an extra tangy kick.
8. Grate in Frozen Butter
Ready for a secret? Grating a bit of frozen butter directly into your scrambled eggs before cooking makes the most mouth-watering eggs. As the butter melts, it creates pockets of steam that puff up your breakfast scramble to pure perfection.
9. Season at the End
Salt is a recipe game-changer, but timing is everything. Add salt at the very end of cooking—right before serving. Rumor has it that salting too early can make your scramble runny, and nobody wants that.
