Water will make them fluffier than milk. Now you make me hungry for scrambled eggs-must make tomorrow for breakfast!!!

And make sure it's full fat for both! Very good for people on Atkins!

Eggs, Cream, butter, cheese for the scrambled eggs...and then if you're really good, I'll put a green salad (with onions) on the side, and some 5 slices of smoked salmon, and toasted rye bread.

Heavenly! and not neccessarily breakfast food either!

Hmm... I just used eggs and whipped them till they bubbled. I rarely have my eggs scrambled though, I like my eggs sunny side up and almost raw to the point that you can slurp it up,

Cream for me, preferably whipping cream. I like adding Swiss cheese and parsley to mine.
And pepper.

I have never put milk in my scrambled egg....but I do love to put strawberry jelly over them after they are done... (most people don't like that...but it is soooo good)

So then skim won't work? I've been using skim. It's all we have in the house because I don't like any milk but skim.

If water works, and that is how lots of people make it, skim will absolutely work! Water has no fat in it - it's just that the liquid adds volume, making for fluffier eggs. If you don't like milk, try adding the same amount of water that you would use milk, and you may find it comes out great!
