Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make scrambled eggs in advance?
While scrambled eggs are best served fresh, you can make them ahead of time and reheat them gently in the microwave. However, reheated eggs may not have the same creamy texture.
How do I prevent my scrambled eggs from drying out?
The key is to cook the eggs over low heat and to remove them from the pan as soon as they are set but still slightly wet.
Can I use frozen eggs for scrambled eggs?
No, you should not use frozen eggs. The freezing process changes the texture of eggs and they will not cook properly. Use fresh eggs for the best results.
Can I add vegetables to my scrambled eggs?
Of course you can. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the eggs while they cook. Some popular options include chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
What’s the secret to fluffy scrambled eggs?
Whisking the eggs well before cooking helps to incorporate air, which makes them lighter and fluffier. Adding a little bit of milk or cream also contributes to a fluffier texture.
