Chef’s Notes: Quick Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
• Whisk like you mean it – Vigorously beating the eggs traps air, giving you those signature billowy curds every time.
• Start-stop cook method matters – Microwaving in 30-second intervals prevents overcooking and gives you that perfect, creamy texture.
• Choose the right bowl – A wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl encourages even heat distribution and fluffier eggs.
• Add flavor at the finale – Stir in cheese, herbs, or diced veggies during the last burst for melty, customizable goodness.
• Crème fraîche = rich dreams – Swap half the milk with crème fraîche or thick Greek yogurt for silkier, restaurant-style eggs.
• Perfect for meal prep – Make a batch, then tuck into breakfast burritos or toast for on-the-go mornings.
• Go dairy-free with ease – Almond, oat, or soy milk work great; just avoid sweetened versions unless you’re after a twist.
• Keep it warm, gently – Rest the cooked eggs in a bowl nested inside a larger one filled with hot water to hold heat.
• Pair with freshness – Avocado slices, berries, or arugula salad brighten the plate and balance the richness.
• Serve and savor fast – These eggs are at their fluffiest right out of the microwave—don’t let them sit too long.

Ingredients
- Egg Base
8 large pasture-raised eggs cracked into a wide, microwave-proof bowl
0.5 cup whole milk or unsweetened almond milk for extra richness
- Seasoning
0.25 tsp fine sea salt adjust to taste
- Alternative Ingredients
Eggs: substitute with ¾ cup silken tofu blended smooth for a vegan scramble
Whole milk: swap with soy milk oat milk, or water plus 1 tablespoon melted butter for dairy-free options
Sea salt: replace with kosher salt use ⅓ tsp or a sodium-free seasoning blend for low-sodium diets
Directions
- Prep Whisking – In a generously sized, microwave-safe bowl, crack in all 8 eggs and pour in the milk. Using a fork or small whisk, beat vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy, about 1 minute. This aeration step is crucial—it traps air and yields those signature fluffy curds (Prep time: ~2 mins).
- First Microwave Burst – Set your microwave to high power. Cook the mixture for 30 seconds, then retrieve the bowl carefully (it may be hot). Use your fork or spatula to scrape the bottom and sides, breaking up any forming curds. This prevents overcooked pockets and ensures even cooking (Cook time: ~30 secs).
- Interval Stirring Cycle – Return the bowl for another 30-second burst. Upon removal, stir again, focusing on the still-wet sections. Repeat these 30-second intervals—cooking then stirring—until the eggs are softly set but still glossy, approximately 1 to 1½ minutes more. Remember, carryover heat will continue to cook them after microwaving (Cook time: ~1½ mins). Optional: stir in shredded cheddar, diced ham, or chopped herbs at the final stir for extra flavor.
- Rest Serve – Let the eggs stand for 30 seconds to finish gently cooking and set the texture. Give a final fluff with your fork, transfer to plates, and enjoy immediately while warm.

- measuring cups and spoons
Notes
- For ultra-creamy eggs, swap half the milk with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt. Serve alongside buttered toast, fresh avocado slices, or a side of sautéed spinach. Add mix-ins like crumbled feta, smoked salmon, or sun-dried tomatoes at the last stir for variety. To keep them warm while you finish other dishes, nest the serving bowl in a slightly larger one filled with hot water.
