Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese or fresh herbs
For rich creamy scrambled eggs, add small cubes of cream cheese or a dollop of cottage cheese before cooking.
For added flavor, stir a bit of creamy salad dressing, pesto, salsa or your favorite herb into the egg mixture.

Insider Info

Lighten up. Cooking spray and water can be substituted for butter and milk.
Avoid cast iron. Eggs scrambled in a cast iron skillet can turn a greenish shade. This harmless but unappealing color change is the result of a chemical reaction between iron in the pan and sulfur in egg whites.
Don't overcook. The heat retained in the pan will continue to cook and firm up the eggs after pan is removed from heat.
How long to beat? It's a matter of preference. Light beating produces more dense scrambled eggs. Vigorous beating aerates the eggs, resulting in lighter fluffier curds.
Holding scrambled eggs: It's best to serve scrambled eggs as soon as they are cooked, but if necessary, they can be held for a short time. Place the skillet of cooked eggs over a pan of hot water rather than over direct heat.
