Looking for the best scrambled egg recipe ever? This post will show you how to make perfect scrambled eggs: fluffy, flavorful and creamy all at once!
My husband is normally the breakfast maker in our house, but there are a couple of things that only I can make. One is Dutch Babies. The other is really, really, really good scrambled eggs.
I mean really good.
Make-you-want-to-cry good.
Okay, maybe you won’t cry, but still. They’re good. I promise.
Scrambled eggs are not difficult to make. In fact, this time around the girls did all the leg work for me. The trick to perfectly fluffy eggs is patience. I learned that in 9th grade Home-Ec. Thank you Mrs. Mouw. That little nugget of information has served me well.
Step 1: Crack your eggs into a bowl (or a 4 cup measuring cup like we used here.)
(Annie’s contribution.)
Princess was a little nervous to crack her first egg, but by her 3rd, she was cracking ’em like a pro.
Step 2: Whisk eggs until all yolks are broken and well blended.
Step 3: Pour in half & half and add salt & pepper to taste; whisk well.
Step 4: Add dabs of cream cheese. Don’t try to whisk any more.
Step 5: Melt butter in pan over medium-low to low heat. Pour in egg mixture. Using knife or whisk, spread out cream cheese dabs so they aren’t all clumped together. Let set for a minute or two.
Step 6: After eggs have set; stir ONE time. Just once. This is very important! Over-stirring scrambled eggs is the mistake most people make. The LESS you stir them, the fluffier and better they will turn out.
Step 7: After another minute, stir ONE time, then add shredded cheese. Wait another minute then stir once more. Lower heat if necessary.
Step 8: Wait another minute then flip eggs upside down to make sure they are evenly cooked. Cook for about one minute longer and they are done! Remove from heat and enjoy.
Preparation time: 5 minute(s). Cooking time: 10 minute(s). Number of servings (yield): 8.

Found another “gem”. Made these. Enjoyed the experience. Not quite perfect, but close enough. Next time will be better. Thank you again for the useful recipes!
I loved it so much that I could literally make it inside the smallest closet in my house!
But I’m going to make them at least once :)))!
I've been making scrambled eggs your way for a while now and I will never change! These are delicious. My husband adores them as well :) Thank you!
Isn't this a cheese omlette (of sorts)?
Good question. Are scrambled eggs with anything beside milk and seasonings actually better termed omelettes? Sometimes I put cottage cheese in my scrambled eggs but stillll call them scrambled eggs because I don't fold them over a filling. Maybe they are really a sort of cheese omelette.
Ruth, I have not tried your Scrambled eggs yet.
The way I cook them would make you " WANT TO CRY"!
This comes from Americas test kitchen. Crack as many eggs as you want into a bowl, add one teaspoon of water per egg (4 eggs, 4 tsp. water) mix with a fork throw into a pan over medium heat. So easy & good it (MAKES YOU WANT TO CRY).
Love your blog, but it scares me to death. I' afraid that I am going to have money left over at the of the month.
I love eggs--many ways, always have. I tried your recipe and now I can happily say the rest of my family now enjoys them as well. Thanks much!!
I always stir, stir, stir. I made these with minimal stirring and they were great scrambled eggs!
Just made these for my 2 year old son and me... needless to say, these are amazing!! My son ate 2 servings!!!! Thanks for the great recipe!! :)
Wow! Just tried your recipe and these eggs are amazing! Totally worth all the calories!
I'm so glad you liked them! Thanks for letting me know! :-)
