The rules for non-rubbery scrambled eggs
Choose your receptacle carefully. ...
Always oil or butter the dish so the eggs won't stick.
Add a little liquid – you need ½ tbsp per egg to make sure they get an airy texture. ...
Cook in 30 second bursts, forking through the eggs after each burst.
TIP: You can add anything you like. I liked to put in ham, cheese, mushrooms, onions and some dried herbs for flavour. Mix with a bit of milk or cream and put in for small amounts of time (10-30s) and mix in between each cooking. The trick is to cook them slowly so they don’t go rubbery. Eventually you will get fluffy scrambled eggs!
