5 Mistakes You're Making With Your Scrambled Eggs

I hope you guys know, they're only giving suggestions on how to make your eggs better, if you like the way you make them, make them like that. It's not like the writer of this article is going to find you and beat you up because you don't cook the way they do. Everybody cooks differently, so excuse them for making suggestions and giving advice.

Army scrambled eggs.
The one thing I never ate and never will.

Grease the skillet with butter or margrine, cook on med. stir eggs until almost done. add cheese if you like, but put it in when you put the eggs in.

Actually, adding mayonnaise makes them creamy and adds some flavor. Not very healthy, though.

I add a dash of cream if I have it while whisking, but I also tend to like my scrambled eggs firm, not "soft". I disagree with LoriFB, though... eggs are not a boring food! They're very versatile. Not all of us can buy farm-fresh eggs so a little seasoning or mix-in makes the difference between a blase omelette or scrambled eggs and a yummy breakfast.

Then again, my house also has a rule: No adding salt or pepper until after you've tasted the food.

Ah nuts

i like onions in my eggs along with cheese and hot sauce

rslip, I hope you meant "Double BOILER".

I think it is all a matter of personal preference......

i hate the word hubby, it sounds stupid when people say it.

Personal preference...not to stir the eggs very much so the yolk and whites are still separate, cook in a little butter and just before its no longer "wet" add a spoonful of cottage cheese which melts and adds the cheesy flavor. YUM

A pinch of garlic powder, a chopped little green onion with tjhe eggs fried in a skillet that had bacon fried in it gives a delightful; taste

This is a riot reading these comments.

"It's okay; most people don't know how to properly scramble an egg." How arrogant is that statement? I have cooked scrambled eggs for decades, violating most of these "rules" in the process. And guess what - my kids love them, my wife loves them, my 20+ nephews and nieces universally rave about them and insist I cook them when I come to their houses for visits. My mother taught me the recipe, which she learned from her mother and so on - going back to the mid-1800's. I use high heat, milk (1/4 cup per dozen eggs), and whisk them with a fork. They are light and fluffy inside - but with a very thin, crisp, browning on the edges that brings a sweetness to the otherwise savory eggs. I often cook them in a pan seasoned with the drippings of the bacon I cook immediately prior instead of buttering the pan (and I reduce the milk accordingly so as not to overwhelm the dish). I use a standard skillet - the cleanup is no problem since I use butter or bacon drippings in the eggs they don't stick. Why are we now becoming so snooty and snobbish as to the way we cook eggs? Chopsticks make perfect scrambled eggs? Really? Maybe for you... but not for me, thanks. I take my good ol' western-style eggs, thanks.

The only way to cook scrambled eggs is in a double broiler.....they come out nice and fluffy and are never dried out. Never cook them on a grill or in a skillet with direct heat.

So many of these articles are about telling us how to do things. Get out of my life! I've made scrambles eggs for years, just the way I like them. Yes, I am willing to try new things...and will try using a whisk. But, when it comes down to it...my scrambled eggs are fine. As a matter of fact, kids won't eat too many other peoples scrambled eggs, because they don't taste the way I make them...ahhh...makes me so proud. :-)

As to the title of this article...blah...there is not "Mistake" in what most of us are doing. Stop being so negative. Peace!

I do none of the things this article recommends and my scrambled eggs come out tasting and looking great. Sometimes I wonder if the so called experts are that at all. Martha Stewart once had show showing how scrambled eggs are to be cooked. Her eggs were all runny and gross looking. It's all a matter of preference.

I like my recipe the best. Two fresh organic eggs whisked briskly, a table spoon or so of shredded cheddar cheese and, just as they're finishing off the heat...I add a pint of Jack Daniels. Best breakfast ever!

Forget the milk, cream, sour cream, creme fraiche and all that other nonsense..... amateurs! lol You want fluffy eggs? Add a small amount of pancake batter and whisk furiously just before they go to the skillet. This is how one popular chain gets their eggs so fluffy. Give it a shot...... you can thank me later. ;-)
