Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more intense flavor, you can lightly sauté the chives in the skillet before adding the eggs to release all their aroma! 🌿

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Cooked scrambled eggs turn rubbery or watery after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Not suited to batch cooking. Texture and flavor degrade significantly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

You can prep the ingredients ahead, but cook at the last minute for the best texture.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Microwave at medium power (500W) in short bursts (30-45 sec), stirring between each. Or in a pan over very low heat, with a spoonful of water or milk, stirring constantly. The texture will be altered, rubbery or dry.

Variations

Add a pat of butter to the skillet for more flavor.
Serve on a slice of toast.
Replace the chives with parsley or tarragon.

Mistakes to avoid

Cooking over too high heat: keep it at medium and stir gently.
Stopping stirring: scrape the sides of the skillet to form small curds.
Overcooking the eggs: take them off the heat when they are cooked but still slightly soft.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make soft scrambled eggs?

Whisk the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper, pour into a skillet over medium heat and stir gently with a spatula, scraping the edges. Remove from the heat when they are cooked but still slightly soft.

Should you add milk to scrambled eggs?

Yes, a tablespoon of milk for two eggs is beaten in with them, along with the salt and pepper, until the mixture is smooth. The milk helps make fluffy scrambled eggs.

When should you add the chives to scrambled eggs?

Add the chopped fresh chives when the eggs start to set, then keep stirring until they reach the doneness you like. You can top with a little extra chives when serving.

How long should you cook scrambled eggs?

Plan on about 5 minutes of cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly. Depending on your taste, the texture will be soft or more set: stop cooking sooner or later.
