Ingredients and equipment for fluffy scrambled eggs

Fluffy scrambled eggs are easy to make with the right equipment and ingredients! The key to fluffy scrambled eggs? Milk or cream! Here’s what you need:

• Eggs: Buy cage-free and organic if you can, local if possible.
• Milk or cream: Adding a little liquid to your scrambled eggs gives them just the right fluffy texture. All you need is 1 tablespoon, but it makes a huge difference. Use dairy-free milk if desired.
• Non-stick or cast iron skillet: Non-stick is a great surface for scrambling, or you can use a seasoned cast iron skillet.
• Spatula: Use a nylon spatula for a non-stick pan or fish spatula for a cast iron pan.
• Butter or neutral oil: Everyone has an opinion on the best fat for cooking eggs. To us, butter is best: it lends a beautiful savory flavor. But use neutral oil for dairy free.
