How to Make My Soft Fluffy Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Here are easy, detailed, step-by-step instructions for making my fluffy eggs recipe. The instructions are also repeated in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
Step 1: Scramble the Eggs
Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in your HexClad skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Crack 2 eggs right into the pan—no extra bowl needed! Sprinkle 2 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 pinches of salt to taste.
Stir everything gently with a silicone or rubber spatula, keeping the heat low so the eggs stay nice and fluffy. Cook until just set and still a little shiny. Slide them onto a plate and dig in while they’re warm and cheesy!
Expert Recipe Tips
Low and Slow: Cooking on low heat keeps the eggs soft and fluffy without overcooking.
Freshly Shred Your Cheese: It melts so much better and tastes fresher than pre-shredded cheese.
Keep Stirring: Constant stirring with a rubber spatula helps the eggs cook evenly and stay light.
Take Them Off Early: Pull the pan off the heat while the eggs are still glossy—they’ll finish cooking perfectly on their own.
Delicious Serving Suggestions
- Toast and Butter: Serve these eggs with buttered toast, and drizzle a little extra melted butter on top for a rich, comforting touch.
- Avocado Love: Add creamy avocado slices and a sprinkle of fresh chives for a fresh flavor boost.
- Breakfast Bowl: Spoon the eggs over roasted veggies or grains, then top with fresh parsley for a bright and herbaceous finish.
- Protein Power: Pair with turkey bacon or a dollop of cottage cheese for a satisfying protein-packed meal.
- Fresh and Green: Serve with a side of mixed greens or garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Breakfast Taco: Wrap the eggs in a tortilla with salsa, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh chives for a spicy twist.
- On-the-Go Pairing: Pack the eggs with some fruit, and for extra creaminess, serve with a scoop of cottage cheese on the side.
