More ways elevate your scrambled eggs experience^*

• Make them extra-creamy: stir in a pat or two of high-quality butter just before serving, or add a dollop of sour cream.



• Add cheese: Cheese is one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to amp up the flavor of scrambled eggs. For perfectly gooey results, add shredded cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking (not at the very end, this can cause overcooking)



Mix in protein or veggies: Turn scrambled eggs into a hearty skillet meal by adding diced ham, bacon or sausage. Or include veggies like sauteed onions, mushrooms or chunks of avocado for avocado scrambled eggs. Precook any meats and veggies, and add them when the eggs are halfway cooked so they have time to heat through.

• Include herbs and spices: Basil, dill and chives are all great stirred into fluffy scrambled eggs. You can also add garlic powder or cayenne pepper




Make them spicy: Many people like to douse their eggs with hot sauce once they’re on the plate, but you can infuse them with spice from the very start. Just add a few dashes of hot sauce right into the egg mixture.

Tips and Tricks^*

• Whisk or blend the eggs: The more well-beaten the eggs are, the more homogenous the scrambled eggs will be. That is to say, if there are translucent streaks in the raw beaten eggs, there will be white streaks in the cooked eggs.



• Control the heat: High heat will cause create tough, rubbery scrambled eggs. Instead, start with medium heat. For soft scrambled eggs, reduce the heat to medium-low after adding the eggs to the pan. Or for firmer, drier eggs, increase the heat to medium-high.



• Be mindful when stirring: Stirring scrambled eggs causes the curds to break up, so stirring frequenty would make many curds while stirring less often would give you bigger curds.



• Don’t overcook them: Scrambled eggs continue to cook when they leave the pan, so remove them from the heat when they’re slightly wetter than you like and the heat retained in the skillet will continue cooking them to just the right level.
