    Ingredients

    My recipe for fluffy scrambled eggs doesn’t have a “secret ingredient”. Well, unless you count the compound butter, though you can use regular butter, too.

    Here’s what you need…

    • Eggs
    • Black pepper
    • Sea salt
    • Butter, unsalted or garlic herb compound butter (easy to buy premade)
    • Cilantro
    • Red bell pepper (or try green pepper)

    How to make scrambled eggs

    Here’s the walk through of this classic breakfast dish…

    Infographic demonstrating how to scramble eggs so they're fluffy and perfect with captions and recipe photo collage
    1. Crack eggs out of shells into a small mixing bowl. Remove white things in eggs if desired (see video). Add half the salt and all of the pepper. Whisk eggs with seasonings until fully combined. 
    2. Add butter to a medium sized non stick pan or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Once butter is melted and starting to bubble, add the eggs. 
    3. Continue to cook, stirring scrambled eggs constantly with a silicone / rubber spatula as the eggs form curds. Push the eggs around the non stick pan, without letting them set as they cook. This helps them pick up heat, without getting dry or frying. I don’t like browned scrambled eggs! (my recipe makes them with soft yellows that are very fluffy) They will quickly come together in about 1 minute. When they are solidified, but before they are completely cooked (leave them a little liquidy), turn off the burner and remove from heat. Immediately transfer the cooked scrambled eggs to a serving plate (where they’ll continue cooking slightly).
    4. Top your best scrambled eggs with remaining sea salt if desired, cilantro, and red pepper. Enjoy.

    FAQs

    Can you put cilantro in scrambled eggs?

    Cilantro tastes very good in eggs, if you ask me. In this quick and easy scrambled eggs recipe, I prefer sprinkling cilantro or parsley on top of eggs instead of cooking it in them on the stove. The flavor is a bit brighter. 

    What type of salt and pepper do you put in scrambled eggs?

    I like to use flavored or plain sea salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. You can can shop the (gifted) sea salt you see in my recipe video.

    What’s your recipe for garlic herb compound butter?

    My favorite homemade version is in this recipe for compound butter for steak.

    Do you keep the burner on medium high for scrambled eggs the entire time?

    Yes, personally I do. There are so many ways to cook scrambled eggs, I know Gordon Ramsey has a version I’m a fan of also. But when I’m in a breakfast rush and want them done fast, I always use medium-high. If you’re cooking them for the first time, you can turn the heat to medium once the butter melts. This will help you slowly form large soft curds in the eggs as you’re learning for the first time. 

    How do you add cheese to scrambled eggs?

    To turn this into scrambled eggs with cheese, modify the recipe by adding a sprinkle of about 1 tbsp cheddar cheese (or another melty cheese), once large curds have formed (while stirring the eggs in the pan). This way the cheese will melt while cooking.

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hey home chefs, hope that answers all your questions about making my version of the best scrambled eggs recipe ever. I’ve been making them this way for a very, very long time. If you’re feeling fancy, try your eggs with caramelized onions on top. 

    If you don’t follow me on instagram you totally should @sipbitego. And for more deliciousness, subscribe to the Sip Bite Go channel and see the Sip Bite Go recipe collection.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
