Yes, it will take a little longer to cook them than if you were using high heat, but the fluffy result is well worth it. I love eggs. I love them in every possible way - hard-boiled, soft-boiled, or fried. And I enjoy them in various omelets such as this hearty chorizo omelet. Eggs are my favorite weekday breakfast (on weekends I allow myself treats such as pancakes and cakes). But these fluffy scrambled eggs are especially good. They are like these tasty, savory, melt-in-your-mouth clouds. And they are very easy to make (though perhaps not as easy as microwave eggs), as long as you follow a few simple rules.
Ingredients
You’ll only need four ingredients to make these delicious eggs plus an optional garnish. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Eggs: I use large grass-fed eggs in this recipe. Kosher salt and black pepper: If using fine salt, you might want to reduce the amount you use, or the eggs could end up too salty. Fat for frying: See the discussion below about your options. You have several of them! Optional garnish: Chopped chives. I do like to use them because they add flavor in addition to color.
Instructions
Making fluffy scrambled eggs is easy! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. There are only two secrets to amazing eggs: Whisk the eggs vigorously to introduce air into them. Cook them patiently over medium-low heat and stir constantly. You want the eggs to be yellow, creamy and moist, not dry and browned.

Frequently asked questions
Variations
A few variations were already mentioned above. They include using different types of fat for cooking the eggs and adding various additions such as parmesan, bacon bits, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta. Other interesting additions include shredded cheddar, and various spices and herbs, including dried thyme, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes.
Serving suggestions
If you eat bread, toast is a natural choice. For those on a low-carb or keto diet, there are plenty of low-carb and keto breads that you can use, including keto bagels and keto English muffins. Apart from bread, I like to serve these tasty eggs with bacon, duck bacon, or beef bacon on the side. They’re also good with thinly sliced pork jowls. And if you make them for brunch and you have the time, consider completing the meal with these broiled tomatoes.
Storing leftovers
If the eggs are fully cooked and not runny, you can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat them, covered, in the microwave on 50% power.
