I'm great when it comes to any other kind of egg, but my scrambled eggs are always crappy. I can never get a good fluff out of 'em.

So, how do you do your scrambled eggs? And how do they turn out?

I once had someone prepare scrambled eggs for a group made with a block of Philadelphia cream cheese, and it was ridiculously good. I would have never thought to add that.

I generally cook mine plain, maybe with some diced bell pepper. Or I mix in fried diced potatoes or chorizo, and throw it on a tortilla.

Add a T. of milk per egg you scramble, and don't over work the egg once it's in the pan.Fold it a few times...don't stir the crap out of it. Cook over med heat.Have the pan hot, add oil/Pam, then the egg mix.

salt, pepper, galic powder (a little), onion powder (a little), two dashes of Tabasco, a dash of tyme with the shelled eggs in bowl. Then, beat the hell out of the eggs with a wisk. Then into a pan with a little olive oil or bacon grease over medium heat and scramble.

Perfect every time.

I also add milk to mine and a tiny bit of salt. Whip with a whisk, then pour into the pan.

Stir it like crazy if you want them soft. Nothing is gained from not stirring them. Use low heat, start with butter, and you can even dice up small pieces of butter before you start cooking. A nonstick pan and a silicon spatula are your friends. If its not silicon, you will eat a little bit of it each time. mmmm

I like them French style. I put them in a pan with a knob of butter, unbeaten, over a low heat. I stir them slowly until they begin to form small curds. At the end, put in a couple of tablespoons of creme fraiche to stop the cooking, then season with salt, pepper, and chives, then serve them over buttered toast. It's more like a custard than scrambled eggs. I don't know how people eat the hard dry "fluffy" scrambled eggs cooked quickly over high heat. I think they taste like shite.

Also if you have a lid, put 1-2 tablespoons of water in the pan and cover it for 10-20 sec. The steam will fluff the eggs and they come out great. Good technique for omelets also.

Recently, in butter, I sauteed some finely diced yellow onion, then added some garlic that I had pressed,and when that smelled right, I added some diced green onion. Added the eggs, salt and pepper, and voila, my wife ate breakfast after trying a bite. She normally will not eat breakfast.

Fried Corn
2 cans kernel corn
1 can cream corn

Same Same. I like to pan fry the adult chicken egg breast in the stuff. BTW My wife is an RN, and it's allowed around here.
