My mom always did growing up, but I've ditched the habit. What was it for? Is that Cajun thing?

Yes. It helps make the eggs fluffier.

Or it does nothing and I just waste milk. Either way.

If I have some on hand, yes.

If not, no.

I think it makes them a little fluffier, but I don't notice a huge difference and will enjoy them either way.

I watched gordon ramsay cook scrambled eggs on youtube once and I've cooked them his way ever since.

I usually do. After Googling, many of the hits said not to do it, but Alton Brown's recipe calls for it, so maybe Alton knows better? I dunno. I think I do it because my mother did.

Adding heavy cream makes the best scrambled eggs. I do 1 tbsp per 2 eggs.

Only thing I add is butter. With that said, I prefer creamy eggs and can’t fathom why anyone would want their eggs dry and “fluffy”.

Melted, or just soft?

I don't like my eggs set up as much as my mom made them. She added salt, Tabasco, and Lee & Perrins. I just add salt and a touch of Crystals.

For 2 eggs, I do the following:

1) Put 1 tbsp of salted butter in skillet on med-low heat. Let it melt.

2) In a bowl, combine 2 eggs and 1 tbsp of heavy cream. Use a fork and get it really good and mixed.

3) Pour the eggs into the skillet. At that point, I add about 2 tbsp of shredded cheddar.

4) I don't like to let me eggs get overcooked, so I start scrambling them as soon as the bottom starts to firm up. I try to make folds instead of constantly stirring. You quickly figure out how cooked you like them, and it's a super easy process to repeat after that.

I do. Was told it makes them fluffier because the liquid/water boils off and puffs the eggs.

Never did a side by side comparison.

No. My parents are from Ohio and they both did.

I prefer a little heavy cream, but I don't really care for scrambled eggs so rarely make them.

My mom did growing up, but I just add some butter in the pan and let it melt. Then add the eggs and a few twists from the pepper mill. Scramble and serve when they're still creamy and not fully set.

Top with Trader Joe's Hatch Chili Salsa.

Milk in eggs?

I’ve done it. Don’t see any difference. I whisk my eggs pretty hard before they go in the pan so they’re always fluffy. I don’t think you need milk to do that.

Hell, camellia uses malt shake mixers for their omelettes. So fluffy.
