Fluffy or creamy? That’s the question! Do you like your scrambled eggs fluffy or creamy? Well, here’s what experts have to say.
Getting scrambled eggs right can be a bit tricky! Yes, at times even the simplest of things are a tad bit tough. So if you like this 5 min dish either fluffy or creamy, the following methods can help you get them right!
First, The 2 Methods
1. Fluffy Eggs
If you like fluffier scrambled eggs, add 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of water per egg.
2. Creamy Scrambled Eggs
If you prefer creamy eggs, add 1 tablespoon of milk for each egg.
Are You Wondering Why Should You Add Water Or Milk In Scrambled Eggs?
Because, liquid helps keep the texture soft, which is what you love about your scrambled eggs, right? So adding water or milk will help you achieve the Instagram picture perfect texture but, only add liquid to a limit.
The reason some recipes call for water, milk, cream, or half-and-half is mainly to prevent a rubbery texture.
A small amount of liquid dilutes them, which stops the proteins from bonding too fast and tightly together. Hence, turning your egg into an overcooked slightly hardened concoction rather than the soft, creamy mess you had dreamed of! And that’s it folks!
So go ahead and scramble those eggs like a pro anytime!
Note
For a creamier texture, use butter not oil & cook eggs on low heat, stirring constantly. You can even take them off the heat to prevent them from cooking out too soon…some kitchen pros have recommended using cold, shaved butter to the batter.
