Oh my goodness, you have GOT to try these eggs. Once you learn how to make the best scrambled eggs ever, I promise you will never go back to regular ol' scrambled eggs again.
For years now, I've been having Dustin make me this scrambled eggs recipe. Sure, I can fry or poach an egg just fine. But, for whatever, reason, I have never been that great at making scrambled eggs. I would always add water or milk or salsa or something else and in the wrong proportion so they never turned out very good.
So, since Dustin's scrambled eggs are the cheesiest (ha, shocker! Considering his Mac And Cheese), richest, most flavorful and delicious scrambled eggs you could ever imagine, I would always just ask him to make them for us.
Even the girls didn't want my scrambled eggs -- they would ask for "daddy's super special cheesy eggs."
And I would totally understand.
Good news, though -- Dustin finally taught me how to do it. And it's so simple! Once you make them once, you'll always know how to make the best scrambled eggs ever.
Now, we all can use this amazingly easy (and fast!) scrambled egg method so we don't all have to go bug him to make us some eggs.
And the world rejoices!
Please, oh please, try this recipe and taste these amazingly delicious cheesy eggs.
From this point, forward, all other scrambled egg recipes will pale in comparison. Fair warning. It's the price I hope you're willing to pay because they are sooooo worth it.
How To Make The Best Scrambled Eggs
Equipment

Ingredients
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt get the easy recipe here
- 2 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Heat butter over medium-high heat in a small, non-stick skillet.
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs, seasoning salt and cheese and whisk together until fully blended.
- Once the butter has melted, add the egg mixture to the pan. Allow to sit and cook until the eggs start to turn opaque and stick to the bottom of the pan. Using a spatula, move the eggs around the pan, making sure to evenly disperse the eggs and keep them from burning and/or sticking to the pan. This process will take about 2-3 minutes and you should be doing it constantly.
- Once the eggs lose their shiny look and begin to clump together, remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute.
- Serve hot.

Way to much salt. Mines came out salty. I use 2 1/2 tsp because I had 6 eggs

1 and a half is all you needed for 6 eggs. You miscalculated its a 1/2 tsp per 2 eggs.

If you want the best, fluffiest eggs possible, then buttermilk needs to be added to the scramble mixture. Also, the egg needs to be touched as little as possible when cooking. Only turn and flip it just enough to ensure all the egg cooks, then leave it alone.

Thanks for sharing your technique, Dean.

Yumm. They look perfect. Funny how something so easy can take us years to perfect. I add cream cheese (1 Tbsp) to my eggs. Love, love, love cheesy eggs!

Cheesy eggs are so good 🙂 I've never tried cream cheese...hmmmm 😉

I love scrambled eggs with cheese. Sometimes I sauté a bit of finely diced onion and green or red pepper in the butter before adding the eggs and cheese. I also add just a touch of water (about a TBSP) to the beaten eggs before cooking. Adding that bit of water and gently pushing the cooked eggs to the side and letting the uncooked eggs fill in (rather than stirring them) keeps the eggs fluffy and helps avoid a grainy texture.

Hi Susan! That sounds delicious, too. Thanks for sharing your tips 🙂
