Sparkling water hack transforms your scrambled eggs game
I had been searching for the perfect way to prepare scrambled eggs for a long time. I wanted them to be velvety, delicate, and fluffy—just like I remember from my childhood. I tried various methods, adding milk and cream, but the results were never fully satisfactory. Until one day, I discovered a simple trick that changed my breakfasts forever.
Scrambled eggs are one of those dishes I often prepare in a hurry, but I still want them to taste exceptional. Over the years, I tried different tricks—adding milk, cream, and even processed cheese. But it was only when I turned to sparkling water that I found a method that truly made a difference. Since that time, scrambled eggs with sparkling water have become a staple in my breakfast repertoire.
What else to add to scrambled eggs with sparkling water?
Although scrambled eggs with sparkling water are delicious and light on their own, I like to enhance them with a few ingredients from time to time. I usually reach for fresh spinach, adding it to the pan just before pouring in the egg mixture. I also like slices of tomato or diced bell pepper. Sometimes I add sautéed onions or a bit of smoked salmon—it’s a great way to turn a simple breakfast into something more exquisite.
A simple recipe for my fluffy scrambled eggs with sparkling water
Here is my tried-and-true recipe for perfect scrambled eggs with sparkling water that always turns out well:
Ingredients:
- 4 fresh eggs
- 2 tablespoons of sparkling water
- A pinch of salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of clarified butter (for frying)
- Optional: favorite additions (e.g., chopped chives, spinach leaves, tomatoes)
Method:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add sparkling water, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Vigorously beat the mixture with a fork or a whisk until the ingredients are well combined and tiny air bubbles appear on the surface. Do not whisk too long; just enough to combine the ingredients.
- Heat the clarified butter in a pan over low heat. The butter should melt but not burn.
- Pour the prepared egg mixture into the heated pan.
- Cook the scrambled eggs over very low heat, gently stirring occasionally with a spatula. The idea is for the eggs to cook slowly and evenly, maintaining their fluffiness. Do not cook too long, as the scrambled eggs should remain slightly moist.
- At the end of cooking, if desired, add your favorite toppings, such as chopped chives, fresh spinach leaves, or chopped tomatoes. Gently stir until the toppings are warmed.
- Transfer the finished scrambled eggs with sparkling water onto a plate. You can additionally sprinkle them with fresh herbs, like chopped chives or arugula leaves. Serve immediately, preferably with crispy bread. Enjoy!
