If you're looking for different ways to cook creamy and light eggs — including a few that don't even require additional ingredients — here are some of the best scrambled egg hacks. You might just discover your new favorite scrambled egg technique — and your taste buds will definitely thank you. Who would think to cook eggs in boiling water for a breakfast scramble? Chef Daniel Patterson, that's who. Patterson broke all the rules when he threw out his nonstick skillet for a saucepan. According to Bloomberg, the "eureka" moment came when he realized that eggs are poached in water all the time. So, why not scramble them in water, too?
Here's how it works: You stir about four inches of boiling water to create a whirlpool. Then you pour in your whisked eggs, cover the pan with a lid, and count to 20. When you uncover the pot, the eggs will be floating on the surface of the water. From here, you can pour them out into a strainer, shaking off any excess water, and season them with salt and pepper. They don't taste watered down or weird; just light, fluffy, and delicious.
Adding milk to your eggs makes them rich and creamy, and plain old water will lighten them up. But if you really want to say goodbye to dense eggs forever, add a splash of seltzer water. According to The Kitchn, adding one tablespoon for every two eggs is all you need to create a light and airy scramble. The bubbles in the water will expand when the eggs hit the hot skillet, creating pockets of air that give the eggs the perfect amount of lift.
It doesn't have to be a fancy sparkling water, and you'll probably want to skip all the popular flavored versions. You could also use club soda, but it does have added minerals that may affect the flavor of the eggs.
