Notes

  • Use Fresh Eggs: For the best flavor and texture, always use fresh eggs. They’ll give you a fluffier and creamier scramble.
  • Low and Slow Cooking: The key to soft and creamy scrambled eggs is to cook them on low heat. This helps them stay soft and prevents them from becoming dry or rubbery.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: If you like your eggs with a little more heat, feel free to add extra chili powder or even some chopped fresh chili. Start with a small amount and taste as you go to avoid making it too spicy.
  • Add Cheese: If you love cheese, adding a handful of shredded cheddar or mozzarella can take these scrambled eggs to the next level. Stir it in at the end to get that melty, gooey goodness.
  • Make It Creamier: For even creamier eggs, you can add a spoonful of sour cream or cream cheese. This will give the eggs a richer texture.
  • Don’t Overcook: Eggs cook quickly, so be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking. Soft, creamy scrambled eggs are the goal, not dry ones.
