There are many ways to make scrambled eggs, but this method is my favorite way to make them both fluffy and yummy! My secret: cheese!
A few months ago, I was making scrambled eggs for myself at breakfast. Ryan asked me to try a bite. He immediately said, “I like it” and kept asking for more. The next thing I knew, he had eaten most of my breakfast and I was still hungry!
Since then we’ve been giving him an option at breakfast and he often asks me to make him “the best scrambled eggs”. Justin has tried a few times. But apparently, I make scrambled eggs better because he says I need to make the eggs!
There are so many different ways to make eggs, and no one way is right or wrong, it’s all down to preference. There are many health benefits that you gain from eggs, including numerous vitamins and minerals, and antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease, lower bad cholesterol, and many others. I also find that a breakfast of eggs and toast in the morning keeps me full for much longer than a bowl of cereal.
Why “Fluffy and Yummy” Scrambled Eggs?
The name for this recipe comes from my nephew. We have a hilarious (yet not altogether appropriate) video of him trying to tell us his eggs are “fluffy and yummy” but it sounds like something completely different and nowhere near as nice! If you want to view it, check it out on my YouTube channel by clicking this link!
My dad taught me how to make eggs this way, and it’s how I’ve been making them ever since. I add just a small amount of milk into the eggs and a whole lot of shredded cheddar cheese. I prefer to make scrambled eggs on the wetter side so take them off just as they start to brown.
Serving Options
- Serve as part of a complete breakfast, including a side of toast
- Garnish with a dollop of sour cream
- Stir some fresh chives into the egg mixture before cooking
Scrambled Eggs Step by Step
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Preparation
No matter what way you like your eggs, start by greasing a skillet and heating it over medium heat. Then crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them with a fork. Add in whatever else you want, such as milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and let it cook for a minute. Then use a rubber spatula, wooden spoon, or cooking fork to move the eggs around in the pan so they all cook. The best utensil will depend on how you like your eggs. I like them broken up really small, so I find that a cooking fork works best for me. If you prefer large bits of egg, similar to what you would find in a diner-style restaurant, then a spatula would work better.
Keep stirring the eggs every so often until they are cooked to your desired doneness. As I said, I like mine just before they brown, which takes about 5-7 minutes. Also, since I like them broken up more, I continuously stir the eggs, but you don’t have to stir as often if you want them a different texture.
Eggs should be eaten almost immediately as they tend to cool off very quickly. If you are making them as part of a bigger breakfast, make sure they will be the last thing finished. I like toast with my eggs, so I usually put the toast in before I start the eggs, then butter it while the eggs are cooking.

As I am sitting and typing my comment, I am dreaming of breakfast. I am going to make that fluffy scrambled eggs now. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Awesome! We have them for breakfast and as breakfast-for-dinner. Scrambled eggs are good for almost any meal!
This post made me hungry for some scrambled eggs. I love adding cheese and milk to mine too. It’s such a simple but filling recipe.
I agree. When I have cereal for breakfast I am hungry within an hour or two. Scrambled eggs keeps me full at least until lunch time.
Oh now I’m hungry for breakfast! My husband makes scrambled eggs on the weekend, it’s definitely one of his favorites.
My youngest son loves scrambled eggs. We do “big breakfast Sunday” here and he will often ask for them since we don’t have as much time on school mornings.
This breakfast looks so delicious!!! I love eggs for breakfast! I use a little milk to make them fluffy too but also somtimes instead I put in just a pinch of sugar before I whip the eggs with a fork… this makes super fluffy eggs 🙂
Interesting, I’ve never put sugar in mine. I add salt and pepper but haven’t tried sugar. I’ll have to try it next time.
I’m not big on just eggs, but I scramble them into fried rice when I make it and never do it right haha. Maybe now I can get it right! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh, I love eggs in fried rice! When I make my own at home I use 3 or 4 eggs for a batch of fried rice!
Oh man, I think I might have to have breakfast for dinner tonight! Scrambled eggs are my favorite, but scrambled eggs with cheese? YES PLEASE!
The cheese adds so much flavor and really takes the scrambled eggs to the next level!
I prefer fluffy scrambled eggs! We haven’t mastered how to do it yet though so I can’t wait to try recipe!
I hope this recipe works out and gives you fluffy eggs when you get a chance to try it.
It is almost dinner time here and now I am craving some scrambled eggs. I love having my scramble eggs fluffy.
We have scrambled eggs as breakfast-for-dinner often. They are a good quick and easy dinner when we need it!
This is like the perfect breakfast! Photos look so good that I can almost taste it…
Thank you! Eggs and toast just seem to go so well together and keep you full all morning.
Nice and tasty recipe, I would love to cook this one ! 🙂 Have to try it some day. I usually do omelettes. This would be a good change.
My husband usually prefers an omelet too, but will have scrambled eggs now and then. Especially when we add cheese into them!
I’m totally going to try these eggs out. Fluffy scrambled eggs are my favorite for breakfast. 🙂
I hope these eggs work out and are the fluffy eggs you’re looking for!
Good job it’s the weekend soon! I can’t wait to try these little babies – I LOVE eggs in all shapes or form. Thank you
That’s awesome! I am picky on eggs sometimes, but this recipe for scrambled eggs is one I would eat almost daily.
Now I want to make breakfast for dinner tonight!
We love breakfast-for-dinner here!
I just ate dinner and your pictures have got me wanting breakfast again ! Looks like the nicest scramble egg I’ve seen x
Good thing you don’t have a long time after dinner to wait until breakfast! 🙂
Scramble eggs are popular in our menu too. It’s one breakfast item that is surely going to sell like hot cake at home and it never goes wrong. Like you most of the time I have to share my portion with kids…as long as they are eating, mummy is v happy to share.
Yep, I had that happen this morning! I made some scrambled eggs for myself and my son, who said he didn’t want any when I started, ended up eating half of my eggs!
My grandmother used to put a touch of water in her eggs to make them fluffy.
I haven’t tried water, but it’s a great idea especially for those who can’t have dairy.
Egg and cheese – I caveat eat all day long! Thank you for the quick and yummi recipe ☺️
I agree, such a great combination!
I am going off to bed dreaming of this yummy breakfast for myself in the morning. Looks so tempting.
Scrambled eggs are a perfect breakfast to keep you full all morning long!
WOW, I have to try this. I love trying different egg recipes and I love fluffy eggs! Thanks for sharing!
Happy to help! This is the only way I will eat scrambled eggs.
Milk definitely helps the eggs turn out fluffier. I had to let my husband in on this secret that I do with mine, too.
Too funny, my husband hadn’t heard of it until the first time he saw me making eggs, too!
I’m sure that taste as delicious as they look! This is my kind of weekend treat.This is so good, this will be a huge hit!
We make “big breakfast Sunday” every weekend and this is often a request from the kids!
Just started dreaming of this delicious breakfast in sunday morning, keep sharing more mouth watering recipes. Cheers
Scrambled eggs are a favorite for Sunday morning breakfast in our house, too!
I love scrambled eggs and the more fluffy the better and as always they must be yummy this recipe is a great one to try next thanks for sharing
I completely agree, fluffy scrambled eggs are the best!
I wish I wasn’t at work right now, because I would much rather be at home making some scrambled eggs! These look great and made me so hungry!
Luckily, scrambled eggs can be made pretty quickly so they are a great option for an easy dinner after work.
Scrambled eggs are my favorite breakfast and also Scrambled eggs are easy to cook this looks yummy <3
We love them here for both reasons, too! They are yummy and a quick, easy breakfast.
These look really yummy. I personally like when my eggs are cooked a little more, with some browning also.
My husband does too. The boys and I prefer them soft, so I usually take ours off first and then he cooks his a little longer.
Simple and straight to the point, just the way I like it.
Yep! Sometimes the easiest recipes are the best, but often the ones we overlook.
Something that may seem as simple as scrambled eggs can get screwed up in the blink of an eye. I used to always over cook them and they will usually turn out bland in flavor. I’ve never added milk to them so I’ll be sure to try that out.
Have a great day,
Estée
Milk and cheese both add so much flavor to scrambled eggs. I won’t eat them without anymore.
Adding cheese sounds like a great idea! Have you ever tried adding a little cream to the eggs? It also makes for a very rich breakfast when you scramble those up.
No, I haven’t tried cream, but that does sound like a great addition! We have some in the refrigerator, I’ll have to try it next time I make eggs.
This scrambled egg recipe comes out perfect everytime! I am so glad I came across this recipe so that I can make them perfect!
There are so many ways to make scrambled eggs, hopefully this one is a winner for you!
My husband makes scrambled eggs often. It is definitely something that is fickle and up to the person for how to make them. I do know he is constantly stirring and breaking them up too!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who likes scrambled eggs all broken up. My husband thought I was crazy the first time he saw me make eggs.
Oooo scrambled eggs! My daughters favorite. Honestly I suck at making eggs. I might have to try your technique out!
My youngest son loves them too. Give these a try and see what she thinks!
LOL you’re right, it DOES sound as if he’s saying something VERY different indeed on that video clip! Great recipe for a classic breakfast staple 🙂
Hahaha I know! That was almost two years ago now and we still laugh about the video 😊
Yummy, as always. Do you have a group where your followers try out your recipes and send their results?
No I don’t right now. My husband and boys are my taste-testers most of the time! I’ve thought about it but haven’t put it together yet.
Simple and yummy! Great option to have when there is time shortage and not that much “cooking” energy left for the day 🙂
Yes! I know that feeling of no energy at the end of the day sometimes. That’s typically when we do breakfast-for-dinner here!
Eggs are my favorite breakfast! My kiddos love them scrambled.
My oldest won’t touch eggs, but my youngest will eat them every day, especially if we scramble them just like this.
Great recipe! I love scrambled eggs, they are my favourite way to eat the eggs. I prefer them without any addition, my secret to make them super fluffy and not dry at all is to cover the pan the last minute of cooking. The eggs tend to get fluffy with steam, go figure, is a chemical thing!
I never thought about covering the pan while they cook! I will definitely be giving that a try the next time I make them. Although, I’ll still keep cheese in it because I just love cheese 🙂
