Ingredients for Scrambled Eggs

- Butter – the number of eggs will determine the amount of butter needed. For every 3 eggs, use 1 tablespoon of butter (3:1 ratio). Butter makes scrambled eggs extra soft and fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Anything you add to an omelette can be added to scrambled eggs. I recommend precooking meat or veggies (except for spinach) and dicing into small pieces. You can also add herbs and/or cheese! Meat ideas include bacon, sausage, ham, etc. Vegetables include peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, etc. My favorite cheese mix-ins are gruyere, cheddar and Swiss. Herb ideas include chives and parsley.
I like to add my mix-ins to egg mixture about 1 minute after the eggs hit the preheated pan. Herbs can be added directly to the egg mixture before pouring into the pan.
Enjoy scrambled eggs within 4 days. Make sure to cool before covering tightly in the fridge.
Reheat scrambled eggs in 30 second intervals in the microwave, or in a pan with a little more butter over medium heat. Stir often until warm. Scrambled eggs, however, are best enjoyed right away (and not reheated) if possible!
Yes, you can freeze scrambled eggs for up to 4 months. I do recommend enjoying scrambled eggs right away (and not freezing) if possible!
