Brighten Up Those Boring Scrambled Eggs With A Splash Of Lemon Juice
By Jessica Fleming-Montoya
Scrambled eggs don't always have to be simple and plain — all you need is a little bit of lemon juice to make them fluffier with a softer texture.
Adding acids changes the protein structure of the eggs, making them stiffer and resulting in eggs that can hold air bubbles, which ultimately leads to a perfectly puffy result.
The water in the lemon juice also slows down how quickly the eggs cook and create steam, leading to that extra-soft texture you're craving.
Depending on your recipe, you can add anywhere from just a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to a tablespoon or more to elevate your recipe.
It's best to play around with the ingredients to find the perfect texture and flavor, but once you find that sweet spot, your scrambled eggs will never taste the same.
