Frequently Asked Questions
What size eggs should I buy?
We use regular eggs in all of our recipes, as they are the most commonly purchased size. You can use whatever size you have on hand for great scrambled eggs, however, the amount of water and seasonings you add might need to be adjusted up or down, depending on the size.
Why aren’t my scrambled eggs fluffy?
For fluffy scrambled eggs, be sure your pan is hot before adding the egg mixture. Also, to be sure to get them as fluffy as possible, beat the egg mixture one more time right before you pour it into the pan. Lift the cooked portion to allow the uncooked egg mixture to run under the cooked portion, rather than stirring or flipping them frequently.
How can I change up my scrambled eggs?
These best scrambled eggs are delicious on their own, but when you’re ready for adventure, here’s a few of our favorite ways to make them your own. We love to cook chopped fresh veggies in a little butter in the pan (try chopped zucchini, red bell pepper and chopped onion or any of your favorite combinations—about 1/2 to 3/4 cup total) until tender. Then add the butter called for in the recipe and spread out the veggies in the pan before adding the egg mixture. You can sprinkle the eggs with shredded cheese as they get close to being completely cooked, or, add chopped fresh herbs into the egg mixture before cooking. And also check out the reviews of this recipe to see how our fans like to change it up!
