Lots of people enjoy tucking into scrambled eggs. After all, the tasty dish is delicious, filling and can be whipped up to accompany so many different meals; however, even though it's super tempting to eat, making the dish isn't always as easy as it seems.

Sometimes eggs can lack flavour, overcook easily or even turn soggy if you don't know what you're doing in the kitchen, but there may be a simple way to fix your recipe. According to food fans, adding a simple ingredient could change the game entirely, and take your scrambled eggs to a level you've never reached before.

The topic recently came up on Reddit when one person asked: "How to make scrambled eggs really flavourful - I just can never make them taste like restaurants. I’ve tried things like a tiny squeeze of lemon or buttermilk for acid, with decent success I suppose.

"I can’t seem to salt them correctly (tried adding it in once they’re in the pan and before). I basically want to make a ton of eggs to put in some make-ahead breakfast burritos.

"I have tried other seasonings, but I think I’ve sort of guessed at them based on what I sometimes like and it was pretty meh. Kind of tasted gross. Milk doesn’t add flavour. Thank you so much for any tips!"

In the responses, there seemed to be one idea everyone supported. The key, according to many cooks, is adding plenty of butter.

When asked how much butter to add, someone replied: "As a chef, you don't want to know how much butter." Another added: "Once you think you have enough, you're still too low on what you've got.

"Get more. Always more. Plenty of people still don't know that the reason why their restaurant tastes good is because of the gargantuan amounts of butter that gets used."

A third replied: "Use salted butter. You're probably doing this already. Room temperature butter is best, enough so it more than covers the bottom of the pan when liquified.

"Don't use a hot pan or some of the eggs and butter will overcook. Medium-low heat to give the ingredients a little time to mix and develop. Tilt the pan so the melted butter lightly coats the sides of the pan halfway up."

Meanwhile, a fourth also offered a different idea, writing: "Try heavy cream. I worked in a French restaurant, and we did our egg mix with heavy cream, salt and white pepper. We cooked them in (salted) clarified butter."

Why should I add butter to scrambled eggs?

If you didn't know, there are a few reasons why you should add butter to your scrambled eggs. Little you may realise, it works to enhance both the texture and flavour of the dish.

It adds a rich, creamy flavour and stops the eggs from sticking to the pan too. This will help you to achieve a softer, more luxurious egg dish.

Not to mention, the fat in butter also helps to regulate the cooking temperature, which should lead you to achieving an even and tender scramble. You shouldn't be left with overcooked, rubbery eggs.

As well as this, the fat in the butter will also aid in retaining moisture in the eggs, which should result in a more tender and moist scramble. If you want a creamy texture, there are also other ingredients you can add to enhance the dish too.

You could consider adding some milk or cream to boost the meal. Some people also recommend using a little crème fraîche.
