Yes, it will take a little longer than cooking them over high heat, but the fluffy result is well worth it! I love eggs in every possible way - hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, or fried. I also enjoy them in various omelets, such as this hearty chorizo omelet. 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.

Recipe Card
Eggs: I use large eggs in this recipe. If you want them to be deep yellow like in the photos, use pasture-raised eggs. But any egg will work in this recipe. Kosher salt and black pepper: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fat for frying: I usually use butter. Optional garnish: Chopped chives. I like to use them because they add flavor in addition to color.
Sometimes, I sprinkle the cooked eggs with a dusting of grated parmesan cheese for added flavor. Cook the eggs in bacon grease and sprinkle them with bacon bits when they’re done. Just when the eggs are done, mix in a few sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese. Add ¼ cup of shredded sharp cheddar to the eggs before cooking them. Add spices. Options that I tried and liked include dried thyme, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Use just a pinch of each additional spice. You want the eggs to be the stars of the show. Just when the eggs are done, mix in ¼ cup of caramelized onions, sauteed onions, or roasted onions. The photo below shows the eggs with roasted onions.
Place the eggs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Use a hand whisk to beat the eggs until light and frothy. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low. When there is no more liquid in the skillet, immediately remove the eggs onto a plate, top them with chives if using, and serve. Apart from bread, I like to serve these eggs with oven bacon, duck bacon, or beef bacon. They’re also good with beef sausage or thinly sliced pork jowls. They can also be part of a steak and eggs breakfast instead of fried eggs. And if you make them for brunch and you have the time, consider completing the meal with these broiled tomatoes and keto biscuits.
