Scrambled eggs are among the simplest dishes to prepare, but they can be made much tastier by skipping the milk. Although many people commonly add milk to eggs, it can make the scrambled eggs watery and diminish their natural flavor.

The secret to fluffy scrambled eggs

Adding liquids to scrambled eggs increases the cooking time, which raises the risk of them becoming rubbery and overcooked. While browsing a cookbook, I came across a recipe that suggested using cornstarch to thicken the eggs and enhance their texture.

I tried this method while preparing breakfast, and to my surprise, the scrambled eggs were fluffier and had a creamy taste. After a brief online search, I discovered that cornstarch surrounds the egg proteins, helping them retain moisture and preventing them from coagulating too quickly. This results in scrambled eggs with a smoother and silkier consistency, without the need to add cream or milk.

Method for perfect scrambled eggs

Ingredients:

          
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Butter for frying
  • Seasonings to taste

Preparation:

                
  1. Crack two eggs into a bowl and add a tablespoon of cornstarch.
  2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  3. Melt some butter in a pan. You can use smoked paprika-flavored butter to add extra aroma to the scrambled eggs.
  4. When the butter has melted, add the egg mixture and immediately start stirring.
  5. Continue stirring so the eggs cook evenly.
  6. When the scrambled eggs are almost done, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
  7. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate, season with pepper, and wait for the toast to be ready.

Scrambled eggs can be prepared in many ways, each with its own benefits. The key to success is the right frying technique and choice of ingredients. With various additions and culinary tricks, scrambled eggs can become a delicious and healthy start to the day. Scrambled eggs with cornstarch are delicate, rich in flavor, and, in my opinion, much tastier than the traditional version.
