Scrambled Egg FAQs

How many eggs do you need for scrambled eggs?
Scrambled eggs can be made with as few as one or two eggs, making them ideal for a quick meal or snack when cooking for one or two people.

Why should scrambled eggs be cooked on low heat?
Low heat allows the eggs to cook evenly and gently, resulting in a softer texture and fuller flavor. High heat can cause eggs to become rubbery or dry. Trust us, it’s worth the wait on low.

Scrambled eggs can be topped or mixed with herbs, cheese, or sauces. A spoonful of basil pesto adds a fresh, flavorful twist without extra effort.
