Whichever way you like to prepare yourscrambled eggs, there’s no short supply of ways to upgrade them.
Bacon bits folded into the eggs might be better than strips served on the side.
No matter what protein you chose, it should be pre-cooked or ready to eat.
For maximum flavor, cook your bacon or sausage in the pan you plan to scramble your eggs in.
Fold the chopped bacon or sausage back into the eggs about 30 seconds before the eggs are finished cooking.
Fold In Cultured Dairy
Adding milk to scrambled eggsmay be a waste, but cultured dairy is another story.
Just be careful to not add too much or risk watery, loose eggs.
For a nutty, herby flavor, swirlpestointo your scrambled eggs during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
Finish with a dusting of Parmesan cheese for an extra savory breakfast.

For fans of Cacio e Pepe, make scrambled eggs inspired by the Italian pasta.
Go Green
An easy way to fold extra greens into your diet is through scrambled eggs.
Just toss a handful in halfway through cooking your eggs, stirring well to distribute the greens evenly.
Kick It Up A Notch
Spice is another way to add dimension to plain scrambled eggs.
From a few dashes of hot sauce, to a drizzling of salsa added right before serving.
Instead of sauces, you could also fold in diced fresh chiles, like jalapenos or serranos.
Off-heat, finish the eggs with slices of avocado and a dollop of sour cream.
Store-bought stir-fry veggie mixes work well here, too.
Throw In Leftover Potatoes
Last night’s roasted potatoes can be repurposed into this morning’s egg scramble.
Just add the cooked seafood of your choice in during the last 30 seconds of cooking to heat through.
A dusting ofOld Bayand lemon zest before serving are nice finishing touches that complement the flavor of the seafood.
