I don't, I prefer a soft scramble. Light and fluffy can be achieved by beating the eggs properly.

I prefer my scrambled eggs less scrambled and more sternly talked to while being gently stirred. I like flecks of white and yolk and not homogeneous whipped yellow. I like a little dairy in my eggs to bump up the flavor just a notch, but if I don't have any, that isn't going to stop me from making eggs.

Congrats, you managed to overcook eggs.

Pull them off the heat when they’re still wet. They will continue to cook and will be perfect when served.

Gordon Ramsey basically said that Americans in general make them all wrong. After watching his preparation, I’ll never go back to my old way of doing it.

Dairy fat coats egg proteins and slightly inhibits their coagulation when cooked. This provides more leeway to cook scrambled eggs all the way through, before they become tight, overly firm, and dry.

You can achieve the same effect without milk or cream - but in that case, your timing needs to be perfect.

Also, the flavor becomes richer (and more interesting, IMO) when the eggs have a touch of cream.

Speaking of IHOb, we ate their the other night.

The burger was for fine, but it was well down and I kind of assumed a more “artisan” bun.

Also, for $10.50, I could get an amazing burger at Mamas or Fully Stacked.

A little milk, dash of hot sauce and black pepper. Guess I need to look into the Ramsey way given this thread.

Well he can’t pronounce tomato and puts creme fraiche in the eggs at the end.

He can sod off.

i hate the taste of milk in my eggs and i think i make them damn perfect every time. light, fluffy, buttery and tasty.

turn on gas burner, put iron skillet on it with a generous (3/4") slice of butter.

crack eggs into glass bowl; beat the frick out of them with a fork until they're fluffy.

dump into iron skillet (butter should be bubbling and about to turn brown) and kill the fire.

swirl them around the pan 3-4x as skillet cools until perfectly fluffy and dump them into your bowl or plate.

if you do it right you leave nothing behind in the iron skillet except oil from the butter.

eta this assumes you have a properly seasoned iron skillet to begin with.

A pinch of flour also “fluffs”—especially omelets

A splash of heavy cream, whipped a frothy as I can get it, butter into one of those copper skillets and then the egg mixture, keep the eggs moving and pulled away from the skillet as they begin to cook. Pull them a little loose and add salt and black pepper on the plate.

The heavy cream and butter add a richness of flavor I like. Moving them keeps them fluffy. Pulling them from the skillet onto the plate before they cook hard is just common sense, unless you like them well done.


IMO, they need bacon served alongside the scrambled egg. 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, coffee and toast with seedless raspberry jelly is a great meal - breakfast or dinner. Sounds so good we may have this for dinner tonight
