There is nothing better than scrambled eggs for breakfast, and while it may seem simple to make there are many ways someone can mess up this tasty dish.

Scrambled eggs may seem easy to cook in a pan but it is very common for people to mess up the temperature and timing if they are not following a recipe, which can result in hard rubbery eggs which are still undercooked.

However, Jenn Segal, a chef and founder of Once Upon A Chef, has shared “the secret” recipe for making the “best” scrambled eggs every time that makes it impossible to burn them.

Jenn said: “By adding a little cornstarch and milk to the eggs, you get delicate scrambled eggs that could rival a posh five-star brunch in no time at all!”

Adding cornstarch to scrambled eggs stabilises the protein, which prevents them from coagulating too quickly and also helps them retain moisture.

This means the scrambled eggs cook more evenly as the cornstarch will also form a barrier around the eggs, which prevents them from overcooking.

This final result is scrambled eggs which are creamier and softer, even if the eggs are left on the stove longer than intended.
