Breakfast Hack: Add Seltzer Water to Your Scrambled Eggs

This sounds like the type of advice you SHOULDN’T trust from TikTok.  But experts say it really does work.

 

 If you want to make the best scrambled eggs of your life, try adding a little SELTZER WATER.  The bubbles are supposed to make them airier and fluffier.

  

It doesn’t take much.  Just add one teaspoon to your mixture for every two eggs you’re making.  A full 12-ounce can is enough for 72 eggs. 

  

Just make sure you only use plain seltzer.  If you use a flavored La Croix, your eggs will taste weird . . . and don’t use White Claw either.

 

 It works because the bubbles quickly expand from the heat and fluff everything up.
