💡 Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs
- Low heat = creamy eggs. High heat makes them dry.
- Take eggs off the heat slightly early—they finish cooking from residual heat.
- For ultra-creamy eggs, stir constantly and cook slowly.
🔄 Variations
- Cheesy: Add shredded cheddar, American, or Parmesan at the end.
- Fluffy Diner-Style: Add 1 tablespoon water instead of milk.
- Loaded Eggs: Mix in onions, peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
- Southern Style: Serve with fried bologna or biscuits
