Scrambled eggs only require four ingredients to make, but since it is such a versatile meal, there are a lot of ways to add more flavor or texture to it. Here are some of them:
- Add cheese by folding in shredded cheddar, feta, or any cheese of your preferences during the last 60 seconds of cooking
- Garnish with chives, parsley, or dill for some freshness and a pop of color

frequently asked questions
How do you make scrambled eggs creamy?
Cook them over medium-low heat, stir constantly, and pull the pan off the heat before they fully set. Adding a splash of milk or a final pat of butter also boosts creaminess.
Should you add milk to scrambled eggs?
Milk is optional. It loosens the eggs and creates a softer, lighter texture. If you prefer richer eggs with more egg flavor, skip the milk or use a small amount of cream instead.
Why are my scrambled eggs rubbery?
Rubbery eggs usually come from heat that is too high or cooking that runs too long. Lower the heat and remove the eggs from the pan while they still look slightly wet.
How many eggs should I use per person?
Two large eggs make a standard single serving. Scale up by two eggs per additional person and add a little extra butter to the pan.
Are scrambled eggs a good source of protein?
Yes. Two large eggs provide roughly 12 to 14 grams of complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids your body needs.
