Fluffy Parmesan Scrambled Eggs, ready in less than 5 minutes, ideal for a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Cheap, tasty, effortless, these scrambled eggs have a lovely parmesan kick. One single portion of pure goodness. A low carb recipe too.
Trust me, it takes a lot longer to queue up in the morning at rush hour to get yourself breakfast from a coffee shop. Not to mention the ridiculous price you have to pay for a take-away breakfast. Do yourself and your pocket a favour and have breakfast at home. You will love it!
I know, some people may say there is no point of having a recipe for scrambled eggs. After all, everyone knows how to cook eggs, right? Well, true, but then, these are not just any kind of scrambled eggs, but the best scrambled eggs you can possibly make. And also the fluffiest. So, what is the secret?
Using just a tiny little bit of butter, and a tiny little bit of milk, and a tiny little bit of parmesan cheese. You won't believe how delicious they really are!
I absolutely love eggs for breakfast, in any possible way. From omelettes to poached eggs, or just the plain fried egg, there is no better way of starting your day right.
Eggs are jam-packed with protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, and absolutely fantastic no matter what. Some people worry about the cholesterol, but new studies have shown that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to eggs.

Ingredients needed
- eggs - I used regular eggs, but this recipe would work with duck eggs too
- a knob of butter - for richer eggs
- milk - full fat is my first choice, semi-skimmed also ok or even plant-based milk
- parmesan cheese - for a good kick
- a pinch of salt - optional
Variations
As easy as this recipe is, there is always a way to make scrambled eggs better. And that's by adding some nice parmesan to them, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
If you like granulated onions, add some too. A pinch of paprika is also delicious, be it regular paprika, or smoked paprika.
Of how about adding some cottage cheese to them? My Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese are absolutely fantastic!

Expert tips
The secret to super fluffy scrambled eggs is beating them well before adding to the frying pan. And I mean, really well until foamy. Just a fork would do, no need for a hand mixer here. Frying in butter as opposed to oil adds more flavour, and I dare say, helps with the fluffiness.
Scramble the eggs quickly, they should cook real fast, no more than 2 minutes needed for this recipe.
There are little tips to be given when it comes to scrambled eggs, but the most important one would be use a non-stick pan, the eggs will be proper scrambled, rather than badly stuck to the pan. Plus, you only end up with half of them, with the other half having to be washed off the pan.
I know that's probably just me, but I don't like using oil for scrambled eggs (or any other ways of cooking eggs). They taste too eggy for me, that's why I always use butter only. It gives more richness, and helps with the right texture.
Other than that, enjoy a delicious breakfast or brunch that is super quick, filling, nutritious, and perfect for any age or lifestyle. Do give them a go!
