Tips
- Use the best organic eggs — Organic Valley Eggs! Also, use the best organic ingredients as this is a very minimal recipe, so using the best organic ingredients will give you the best tasting eggs.
- I use a 10-inch cast iron skillet, but if you don't have that you can also use a pot or a large pan as well. If you have nonstick pan, that also works! Just don't use stainless steel as the eggs will stick so much more when using this type of pan.
- This is a super easy breakfast to make for a crowd, as you double or even triple this recipe in the 10-inch cast iron skillet.
- If you are going to serve with toast, make sure you have a sturdy toast to hold all these amazing eggs! I used organic sourdough and it was a nice thick piece.
How to Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs With Sour Cream
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet, add eggs and butter. Put over medium high heat.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir eggs to break the yolks. Continue to stir the eggs and butter, scraping the sides and bottom of the skillet, until the butter melts. Reduce heat to medium low. Continue to stir eggs until they begin to cook and start to look fluffy.
- Once you don’t see anymore liquid, remove the skillet from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook a little from the heat of the skillet. Add in the sour cream and stir to combine completely.
- Add in the chopped chives.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately.

Recipe FAQ's
Adding sour cream to scrambled eggs adds a delightful tangy flavor and incredibly fluffy texture. The extra fat and moisture from sour cream creates fluffier, creamier and more flavorful scrambled eggs.
I recommend full fat sour cream for the best flavor as the fat brings the flavor! But, yes you could use low fat if you prefer.
Technically you can, but I do not recommend this. My mom did this growing up and I always disliked it as the eggs can come out rubbery. If you want fluffy eggs that are not dry or rubbery, use a skillet like I do here!
Yes, if you want to meal prep these you can, though I don't recommend it. I believe eggs are best cooked and eaten immediately. But, if you have extras or need to meal prep, just store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like to use leftover or reheated eggs in breakfast sandwiches or breakfast burritos instead of eating them on their own, as I don't think they are as good reheated.
