Scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs is a dish made from the eggs of a chicken and typically eaten for breakfast. Other common ways to serve eggs include hardboiled, fried, or in an omelette.

To make scrambled eggs, the eggs are first scrambled, or beaten, with a whisk or fork to blend the albumen and yolk. Some salt and pepper or other seasoning is then added and the mixture cooked. To make lighter, fluffier scrambled eggs, some milk, cream or soy milk is also added. The eggs are finally cooked over a hot surface, such as a skillet or frying pan coated with melted butter, margarine, cooking oil, or a low-fat/non-fat oil substitute such as PAM cooking spray.

The eggs are not allowed to set undisturbed, as with an omelette or sunnyside up. When the egg mixture starts to solidify, it is repeatedly scraped up with a spatula, lifted and folded over. This action introduces more air into the mixture and along with the milk or cream, causes the eggs to acquire a fluffy, curd-like texture. The size and stiffness of the clumps varies with the frequency of the folding and length of cooking time. The eggs will become firmer the less often they are folded and the longer they are cooked.

In Britain and Ireland the eggs are usually cooked over low heat, rather than over high heat.

In the United States, scrambled eggs are typical fare at diners and truck stops.

Scrambled eggs usually accompany toast, hash browns, bacon or sausages. They may be seasoned with pepper and/or salt. Paprika is occasionally used. Many people also like to eat scrambled eggs with ketchup.

A "scramble" is scrambled eggs mixed with other food items, such as a "bacon-onion scramble" or a "lox-onion scramble".


Scrambled eggs is also the nickname for embellishments on the peaks of dress hats worn by high ranking military officers.


The working title for the tune "Yesterday" by The Beatles was "Scrambled Eggs", before Paul McCartney came up with the current lyrics.
