Sparkling twist: Elevate your scrambled eggs with fizzy delight
I had been searching for the perfect way to make scrambled eggs for a long time. I wanted them to be velvety, delicate and fluffy—just as I remember from my childhood. I tried various methods and added milk and cream, but the result was never fully satisfying. Then, one day, I discovered a simple trick that transformed my breakfasts forever.
Scrambled eggs are one of those dishes I often prepare in a hurry, yet I always want them to taste exceptional. Over the years, I've tried different tricks—adding milk, cream and even processed cheese. However, it wasn't until I used sparkling water that I found a method that truly makes a difference. Since then, scrambled eggs with sparkling water have become a permanent feature of my breakfast repertoire.
What else to add to scrambled eggs with sparkling water?
Although scrambled eggs with sparkling water are deliciously light on their own, I occasionally like to enhance them with a few ingredients. I often go for fresh spinach, which I add to the pan just before pouring in the egg mixture. I also enjoy slices of tomato or diced bell pepper. Sometimes, I add sautéed onions or a bit of smoked salmon—it’s a fantastic way to turn a simple breakfast into something more exquisite.
A simple recipe for my fluffy scrambled eggs with sparkling water
Here’s my tried-and-true recipe for perfect scrambled eggs with sparkling water that always turn out right:
Ingredients:
- 4 fresh eggs,
- 2 tablespoons of sparkling water,
- A pinch of salt (to taste),
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste),
- 1 teaspoon of clarified butter (for frying),
- Optional: Favourite additions (e.g., chopped chives, spinach leaves, tomatoes).
Preparation:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the sparkling water, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Vigorously whisk the mixture with a fork or whisk until the ingredients are well combined and small air bubbles form on the surface. Do not beat for too long; the aim is just to combine the ingredients.
- In a pan, melt the clarified butter over low heat. The butter should melt but not brown.
- Pour the prepared egg mixture into the heated pan.
- Cook the scrambled eggs over very low heat, gently stirring occasionally with a spatula. The aim is for the eggs to set slowly and evenly, maintaining their fluffiness. Do not cook for too long, as the scrambled eggs should remain slightly moist.
- Near the end of cooking, if desired, add your favourite ingredients, such as chopped chives, fresh spinach leaves or chopped tomatoes. Gently stir until the additions are heated through.
- Transfer the finished scrambled eggs with sparkling water to a plate. They can be additionally sprinkled with fresh herbs, such as chopped chives or rocket leaves. Serve immediately, preferably with crusty bread. Enjoy!
