Eggs can be a delicious start to your morning or a scrumptious snack to end your night (especially ). They're quick to cook, easy to make, and only dirty up one pan. Most people can whip up decent eggs, but you may not know there's a secret ingredient that ensures your scrambled eggs are the lightest and fluffiest they've ever been.
That ingredient is seltzer water, and if you thought this bubbly beverage was just for mixed drinks or tempura batter, you would be wrong. Adding a little bit of seltzer water to your scrambled eggs makes them airy and fluffy in a way that milk or plain water just can't do. If you're worried about the eggs tasting weird, don't; as long as you stick to plain seltzer there will be no additional flavor (so that means your fruity or floral seltzers should remain for drinking only).
Also, it should go without saying, but don't use alcoholic seltzers (blech). How to add seltzer to scrambled eggs It does seem a bit wild to add seltzer to your scrambled eggs, but the science is sound (more on that later). And it's a really simple process, too.
Just add about a tablespoon of the bubbly liquid per every two eggs (that would be just a teaspoon and a half if you're only cooking one egg). You can do this right before you beat your eggs, then pour the mixture in the pan and cook as normal. The eggs shouldn't be runny or cook any differently (though some people have had the whites and the yolks separate slightly), but this fizzy addition is definitely for those .
