Creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs make a satisfying meal any time of day, and cooking them on a electric griddle can reduce clean-up time. Griddles are also a convenient way to cook hot food in an RV, camper or dorm room, since all you need is an electrical outlet. You can change up the flavor of your scrambled eggs by adding herbs, spices, meat, vegetables or cheese.

Step 1

Preheat your griddle to medium heat, or about 275 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the griddle, this may take up to 10 minutes or more.

Step 2

While the griddle is heating, crack the eggs into the bowl. With a whisk or fork, beat in 1 tbsp. milk or cream for every egg used.

Step 3

Stir any additional ingredients into the egg-milk mix. Veggies and meat should be diced, and cheese should be grated or crumbled.

Step 4

Place a pat of butter or pour a tbsp. of oil on the griddle and spread across the surface with the spatula or spoon. Many griddles have non-stick surfaces, so you may be able to use less to keep the eggs from sticking.

Step 5

Pour the egg mix on the hot griddle and stir gently with the spoon or spatula. Constant stirring will result in small curds and infrequent stirring will produce larger curds.

Step 6

Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the egg mix has thickened. Remove the eggs from the griddle when they are almost but not quite the desired consistency. The eggs will retain the heat of the pan and will continue cooking on the plate.
