Soft Scrambled eggs are my go-to breakfast, super easy to make and very healthy. Make these buttery soft eggs in under 2 minutes and serve them with fresh fruit or toast!
Doesn’t matter if it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner time, soft scrambled eggs can be enjoyed any time of day. An average egg contains about 6 grams of protein and the best part about eggs? They’re low carb and keto-friendly.
Most scrambled eggs include milk or cream however I think water works better. A splash of water, occasionally stirring with a spatula, and knowing when to take them off the heat is the key to perfect fluffy scrambled eggs.
Oh and lots of butter and salt. Maybe some fresh chives as well.

- Chives (optional)
Top Tip:
Season the eggs with salt and pepper when you serve them on a plate.
