Recipe FAQs

How do you make fluffy eggs for a breakfast sandwich?

To make fluffy scrambled eggs, whisk eggs thoroughly and cook on low heat with butter. Stir constantly to create soft curds. Adding heavy cream or milk can help keep them extra creamy.

Can I make a scrambled egg sandwich without dairy?

Yes! You can omit heavy cream and use water for fluffier eggs. For a dairy-free spread, try mashed avocado or hummus instead of mayonnaise.

What’s the best cheese for an egg sandwich?

Cheddar, Swiss, American, and Muenster all melt well on scrambled eggs. If you prefer a milder taste, try mozzarella or provolone.
