Scrambled eggs, also known as stir-fried eggs or in French œufs brouillés. You often see this recipe at restaurants to eat for breakfast. I also have a strong preference for scrambled eggs at home in the morning. I have to admit that the way of making scrambled eggs differs greatly. Everyone has their own way of doing this. In this article we describe how to make fluffy scrambled eggs.

The meaning of Scrambled Eggs is:
”an egg mixture with pepper, salt and milk baked in a frying pan that is whisked / stirred together during baking”
Different types of Scrambled Eggs
Just like many other things, making scrambled eggs is really a taste thing. Scrambled eggs therefore consist of whisked eggs with milk, pepper and salt. You can also add butter or oil to the mixture or add flavor with other spices. You also have the following options:
- Scrambled eggs with cheese or ham or salmon
In addition to a frying pan, you can also choose to make the eggs in an au bain-marie way or with a microwave. I prefer the frying pan myself.
Of course I believe my scrambled eggs are the best. It is my mother and grandmother’s recipe that has been in the family for ages. Making this recipe can’t go wrong. You try it and notice for yourself whether you want to add a little more or less of certain ingredients. I personally don’t like it when the scrambled eggs are too watery. I want it to have a slightly firmer shape. This is how you make the best fluffy scrambled eggs for yourself.
