Adding mustard to scrambled eggs gives a subtle tang and boosts the savory flavor without making them taste “mustardy.” Here’s a balanced, delicious version:
🍳 Mustard Scrambled Eggs

-
4 large eggs
-
1–2 tsp Dijon mustard (start with 1 tsp)
-
1 tbsp butter
-
1–2 tbsp milk or cream (optional)
-
¼ tsp salt (adjust — mustard adds saltiness)
-
Black pepper to taste
Optional:
-
1 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar
-
Chopped chives or parsley
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Whisk
In a bowl, whisk together:
-
Eggs

Dijon mustard

Milk (if using)

Salt and pepper
Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
2️⃣ Heat
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
3️⃣ Cook Gently

Cook low and slow for creamy eggs.

Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly soft and glossy.
If adding cheese, stir it in right at the end.
