Q&A for How to Make Scrambled Eggs

There are lots of things that will give an umami flavor to your eggs, like kimchi, furikake, sriracha, and hot sauce. If you'd rather use herbs, sprinkle some basil, tarragon, and/or parsley over your eggs.

Medium-low is ideal for eggs. Let the pan get hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle before you add the eggs.

That means that you have cooked them for a longer period than usual. Some people like their scrambled eggs more dry than runny and purposely make eggs that are slightly brown.

You can use any herb you'd like. Basil, chives, oregano, and dill are all good choices. Add the herbs sparingly and taste until you've got the amount you like.

Yes, you can use normal cooking oil. However, olive oil tends to be healthier, and it tastes better.

The yellow part of the egg is the yolk and the clear part is the white.

You simply move it around in the pan. Of course, keeping your burner heat on a low to medium setting will help.

You can make eggs without these ingredients, but they may stick to the pan. Keep the eggs moving as you cook them to prevent this.

Simply crack the egg lightly, so it has a crack in it, but not enough to release its insides. Then, put your hands on the top and bottom of the egg, and then separate them. Be sure to do it on your pan!

Add the smoked salmon when you pour the eggs in the pan, and allow it to cook with the eggs.

Saute the mushrooms in the pan first. If you want the mushrooms to be mixed in with the eggs, break the eggs over the mushrooms (or pour in your already-whisked egg mixture) and stir until cooked. If you want to make a mushroom omelet, remove the mushrooms when they are done cooking and follow directions for making an omelet, adding the mushrooms when applicable.

Yes, you can. This can help make your eggs fluffier.

It can cause Salmonella and other diseases, so you have to make sure that the egg is cooked before serving it.

Sure! Peppers and onions or crispy bacon would both be good options, but feel free to get creative!

It's not that they'll burn, but rather that the eggs will stick to the pan, making it harder to clean.

No, it is not necessary. You can make 2 scrambled eggs, one with milk, and one without. Try them both, then you can decide whether you prefer them with milk or without.

You can add milk after you crack the eggs. You do not need to add milk if you do not want to, however.

It is not necessary, but there is no harm in adding it. If you either have an extra supply of milk or you just want to add it, go for it. If not, then don't worry about it.

In a small pan, you shouldn't have to use more than two to three tablespoons of olive oil to cook scrambled eggs.

No, you don’t have to add any milk, but a bit of dairy makes for creamier eggs and they’ll probably be a little runnier with milk. If you’re making stovetop eggs then I’d add the milk when you add your butter (so probably at the start) the eggs are finished cooking and if you’re using a microwave then put the milk in with the eggs at the start of cooking but keep a closer eye on it.
