Herb Scrambled Eggs
Since I was a kid, I could always eat eggs anytime of day. They are super versatile, easy to work with, and make an easy meal in less than 10 minutes.
These herb scrambled eggs are made with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry! They are perfectly light, fluffy and loaded with flavor thanks to all of the fresh herbs! I do want to point out that my method for scrambling eggs is a little different than most. Instead of the low and slow rule, I cook at high heat and with fast cooking. I got the idea from Gordon Ramsey and have been making our eggs this way ever since!
Ingredients
- Eggs: Eggs make for such a healthy breakfast! Filled with healthy nutrients that will help curb your mid-morning cravings, eggs are the cornerstone of any great breakfast.
- Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe because I really like to control how much salt is going into the dish. Fun fact: Salted butter is best for using on finished foods like spreading on bread or adding to pasta, but unsalted butter is great for cooking because you can avoid too much added salt!
- Fresh herbs: I add chopped parsley, thyme, oregano and chives! Use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand!
How to Make Herb Scrambled Eggs
- First things first, add your eggs to a small bowl and whisk vigorously until your eggs have turned into a light yellow, thicker, more foamy liquid. If you don’t have a whisk, a fork works well, too!
- Remember not to add your eggs to a cold pan. Heat a small cast iron skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat and add in butter, swirling to coat the pan. When the butter has melted and the pan is the right heat, pour in your eggs.
- As soon as your eggs are in the skillet, begin whisking the eggs continuously for about 10-15 seconds. Continue whisking until the eggs look fluffy and cooked, then fold the eggs out onto a plate. If your pan gets too hot, take it off of the heat and continue whisking.
- After you’ve plated your eggs, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
Upgrade Your Scrambled Eggs
- Add some veggies! Keep this recipe vegetarian-friendly and load up with your favorite vegetables for a healthy, filling breakfast. Personally, I love to add in quartered cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and a little spinach.
- Give it a Mexican twist. Where are my avocado and salsa lovers? Spice up your scrambled eggs by adding sliced avocados, your favorite salsa, and a little bit of jalapeño — you’ll definitely get the kick you need to start your day off right!
- Meat, anyone? You really can’t go wrong with mixing diced ham, strips of bacon, or chunks of your favorite sausage into your herb scrambled eggs.
- Everything is better with cheese! Cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan — take your pick. Whether you sprinkle a little on top of your eggs or mix it in while cooking, cheese will only make your eggs better.

Just made it using fresh thyme and cilantro only. Wonderful. It’s the butter as well, that makes it
Kelley Simmons
Yah so happy to hear you enjoyed this Barry!
Barry Gordon
Is the calorie value in the nutritional section correct?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Barry!
Yes it is correct I just went and double checked everything. The butter adds a good chunk of the calories. You can always use half the amount to save on the calories!
Thanks,
Kelley

I never know if the fresh herbs can also be scrambled along with the eggs. Any reason why not?
Kelley Simmons
I like to add them in after so they don’t get wilted. It also preserves their flavor is you add them after they are cooked. Thanks and enjoy!!

Fresh herbs are always good on anything, but on fluffy scrambled eggs they would be wonderful. I love the idea of serving your egg dish with Churro waffles, which I’ve never tried. Thanks for that recipe too…
