Another inspiration from The New York Times (see Extra-Creamy Scrambled Eggs).
According to the article: “adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs … prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist.”
The recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon per egg. That’s a lot of butter.
The eggs turned out not just extra-creamy, but extra-icky-creamy, which was probably attributable more to the gobs of butter than the starch. My boys, who generally love scrambled eggs, each took a nibble and looked at me like, “WTF?” Louis liked them.

Oooh I recommend Gordon Ramsay’s recipe for creamy soft-scrambled eggs. They’re much unlike the standard recipe, being barely set with a spoonable spreadable consistency. It isn’t my default scrambled egg recipe, but it is a tasty variation to add to the repertoire.
The original draft of the post went on much longer, ranting about all these recipes to improve on scrambled eggs, which I was arguing are just fine as is, but I deleted it. Maybe I should put it back.
