Do you add milk to scrambled eggs?
Adding milk or water to scrambled eggs will only dilute the mix and the flavor will be diluted too.
The color of the eggs will also be paler.
Adding liquid to scrambled eggs can also make your scrambled eggs take on a rubbery texture, so we would definitely not recommend adding anything in the form of liquid to the recipe.
How many eggs should you scramble for one person?
Two large eggs or 3 medium eggs
How do restaurants make scrambled eggs taste better than homemade?
It's all about the butter! Be sure to add some butter to your scrambled eggs, and make sure you don't burn the butter in the pan. Keep everything on a low heat so your scrambled eggs are tender and fluffy.

Take a small pan and melt the butter until it has melted but don’t allow the butter to brown or it will discolor the eggs.
Add the beaten eggs and turn the heat down to low. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir with a wooden spoon, lifting and folding it over from the bottom of the pan.
5.Let it sit for 10 seconds and then stir and fold again.
Keep doing this at 10 second intervals until you see the eggs start to set.
Your eggs are ready when they look silky and slightly runny.
Remove from the heat and let sit in the pan for a moment to finish cooking.
7.Grab a plate and give the eggs one last stir then serve immediately.
I served this with some bacon. you can serve with some buttered toast, add a sprinkle of grated cheese on the top or simply eat as it is.
