I tried adding seltzer water to my scrambled eggs to make them fluffier, and it wasn't that bad

• I'm testing ingredients for the best scrambled eggs, and seltzer water is meant to make them fluffy.
• The method was simple, all I needed was a splash of the fizzy water, and the flavor turned out OK.

Achieving the perfect scrambled egg seems easy, but it's hard to make them smooth and creamy without being too wet, dry, rubbery, or bland.

Luckily the internet is full of tips and tricks, and I decided to put some to the test, starting with adding seltzer water to my eggs.

I wasn't sure what the seltzer would do to eggs, but I came around to the idea

A post on The Kitchn said that fluffy scrambled eggs can be achieved with a splash of seltzer water.

This sounded weird to me at first. But evidently, the carbonation of the seltzer and the steam the added water produces in the pan help make the eggs lighter and more pillowy.

All this trick took was a splash of unflavored seltzer water

To follow this recipe, I swapped out any milk or cream I'd normally use in scrambled eggs for seltzer water.

The Kitchn called for about 1 tablespoon of seltzer for every two eggs. I added salt and pepper, whisked everything together, and cooked my eggs as usual.

The eggs cooked quickly, but they came out too wet for my taste

These eggs cooked pretty quickly, but they had a melty quality and were definitely soft.

For some reason, the whites and yolks also distinctly separated while cooking.

Overall they were fine.

The flavor was good with just the water, salt, and pepper, but the texture was just slightly too moist for me. I think these would be much better for anyone who prefers softer, wetter scrambled eggs.
