Title: Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Post by: deestafford on March 22, 2014, 10:18:52 PM
Over the years I've tried all kinds of different things to make scrambled eggs the way I like them to taste ...water, milk, sour cream  etc.  The best thing I have found is mayonaise. Just add some to the eggs when when you start scrambling them up and then add anything you normally do.   I usually add my stuff as the eggs start to gell. I also fine if I want cheese in my eggs it works better if I grated them on a microplane.  Just some thoughts you may want to try.

Thanks for the info Dee.  Will have to give the mayo a try as that is the way I like my scrambled eggs.

Here's a couple tricks from America's Test kitchen for fluffier scrambled eggs. They did a whole program on eggs and had more advice, but I found these two made the biggest difference.

They work in tandem:

►Contrary to popular belief DON'T use a whisk, and DON'T over-beat the eggs.  The popular belief is that lots of air whipped into the eggs will make them fluffier.  In truth, it breaks down the protein structure too much causing them collapse easier. Use a fork to just lightly beat the eggs

►Use a smaller diameter skillet. I forces the eggs & proteins to pile up (as long as you didn't over-beat them) and the steam created causes them to fluff as it tries to escape.  If only doing a couple scrambled eggs I now use a very small 5 1/2" diameter skillet.

Yes! :)  I especially love them if I'm feeling under the weather.  I do use an egg cup to eat them. I just scoop them out into a small bowl and eat  with some toast for dipping.

My son loves scrambled eggs. And one cooking appliance that makes really fluffy eggs is your microwave!

If your microwave has a omelette setting and is a sensor microwave it will make you some fluffy eggs.

I just spray a bowl with some cooking spray. Then add 4 eggs lightly beaten. Then hit that omelette setting and in about 4 1/2 minutes you will get some very fluffy eggs. ;)

You know I've got to try this now.

Never tried mayo, but I know I would like it, because I like mayo on my scramble eggs sandwich.

I tried the mayo in my scrambles eggs this AM.  Pretty good, IMO.  I'll do it again.
