Add a little milk to the eggs before you mix them up. Just a splash works. And let the eggs set on the bottom before you start moving them around in the pan.

When my grammy scrambles them before cooking them she puts water in. Some people use milk but water makes them fluffier. I don't know how much she puts in though.

After you have put it in the pan, don't move them around! Let the egg cook (not on high heat, or they will burn! ) Take your spoon and move the sides of the egg inward as you would with an omelette, until all the liquid is almost absorbed. Then, you can start to stir the eggs.

Hope this makes sense! Good luck!

I add a little water and really beat them. They turn out so fluffy!

I mix the eggs, cream and butter, whip it up, put in the microwave, tell it is scrambled eggs and how many, hit start, wait about 30 seconds for it to stop and I stir, start, wait another 30 for a stop and stir, and then last 30. All done.

add about 1 table spoon of hot water, beat the eggs with a whisk and pour into a hot pan,,, over medium heat, gently moveedges to center a few times then turn over and serve

I don't know the "trick" but I will tell you how I make mine.

Melt margarine in a non-stick pan, beat eggs in a bowl with a fork until mixed well (add nothing) & a tad frothy on top, put into heated pan, constantly move eggs around in pan. When it starts to become near done I turn off heat, continue mixing until done.

You've come to the right place! People come from miles around to sample my scrambled eggs! Okay no they don't.

But I once took a cooking course where the instructor said that the secret to fluffy scrambled eggs is two things...

1 - beat the eggs WELL, they should be really frothy
2 - cook over very low heat.

He said people usually rush their eggs. Low takes longer but the result is nearly always perfect.

I don't add anything to the eggs, but I do follow the other two steps and have had success everytime.

Make them in the microwave with about a tablespoon of milk (water doesn't work for this one) for each two-three eggs. Makes the lightest, fluffiest eggs you'll ever have.

You can use water or milk in them.... if you want them really fluffy, use a bit of whipping cream instead! )

Exactly!!!!! I use a wire whisk and beat the tar out of them.

I also add cheddar cheese to them right after I put the eggs in the pan, nice fluffy cheddery eggs.

Once I saw a cooking show that said that milk makes scrambled eggs watery and that water makes them milky. I stopped using milk in my scrambled eggs and switched to water and that got rid of the wateryness. I haven't quite mastered fluffy yet.

 

[grinningghost]

I "chop" them with the spatula while they're cooking. It seems to separate them so they don't turn out to be one long runny mess. They always come out fluffy.

I'm also add cheese. I don't like eggs without it.

It's so funny - I thought I invented the idea of putting milk in scrambled eggs! (Nothing like feeling overy self-important! ) Milk really works for me -- plus a dash of tabasco sauce --. I think more than the milk it's the cooking of it -- you have to be really careful not to over cook.I take it off the heat almost before they even look done (it will continue to cook a little even without the flame). You have to let it set a little...but when you start stirring don't stop for a second or they will brown and get crumbly. My family always tells people that my scrambled eggs are the best they've ever had. While I wish I could be honored for something a little more substantial, I'll take the compliment!

OK....hungry now.....must go experiment with eggs. I'll report back later and technique used and results.

 

[onecoolmama]

The only tip I have for you is to not ask MonkeyBoy!

Ha! I had to make a scrambled egg sandwich for breakfast because of this thread!

Toasted bread, scrambled eggs, slice of cheese & ham. Yummy!!!

OMG that is my almost my way of making scrambled eggs, a splash of milk, and a dash of worchestershire sauce. I also use a wire wisk to make them frothy and they are also so fluffy. Something my DH has not gotten the trick of. He are usally flat, almost like a flat omelet.

But as long as he wants to cook breakfast every Sunday a.m., who am I to argue.
