Do you asalt your scrambled eggs before or after you cook them?

Do you season your scrambled eggs before cooking or after? I’ve come across opinions on both sides, and I’m curious about what the best approach is. Does it really make a difference?

  1. Great question! Both methods have their proponents, and the choice often comes down to personal preference as well as what you’re looking for in terms of texture and flavor.

    Salting scrambled eggs before cooking can enhance the flavor more deeply, as the salt has time to penetrate the eggs. It also helps to break down the proteins, resulting in a creamier texture. The general recommendation is to salt them about 15-20 minutes before cooking if you want to maximize this effect.

    On the other hand, salting after cooking allows you to control the flavor more precisely since you can adjust it to your taste. This method also ensures that the salt doesn’t draw out moisture from the eggs too early, which can happen if they sit salted for too long before cooking.

    Ultimately, it may be worth trying both methods to see which one you prefer!
