There are fewer more classic breakfasts than good ol' scrambled egg, which is why it's important to have as many scrambled egg hacks under your belt as possible. Why? Because "classic" doesn't have to mean "boring"; indeed, it's well worth mixing it up every morning for maximum eggy goodness.

1. Incorporate Sparkling Wine
Yes, you read that correctly. If you add sparkling wine to your eggs, it'll give them the perfect, fluffy texture that makes scrambled eggs so desirable. Also, wine. Do I need to say more?

Another way to make your eggs fluffy is to add sour cream, or for that matter any water dairy product like milk or cream. In addition to making your eggs fluffy, it makes it harder to burn or overcook them.
3. Pour In Some Orange Juice
I know it seems a little weirdm but adding a dash of orange juice will bring a little bit of sweetness to your eggs, not to mention a little bit of brightness to bring out the beautiful color of your breakfast. As long as you don't overdo it, it won't make your eggs taste like a glass of OJ — promise.
