The twist? Skip the milk when you're beating your eggs, despite popular belief. Instead, they advocate for a dash of water, reports the Express.

It might raise eyebrows, but there's method to the madness. The expert explained: "The dairy proteins cook at a different rate to the egg proteins, and this can result in watery eggs."

Here's how to rustle up the creamiest scrambled eggs in your own kitchen.

Creamy scrambled eggs Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp water
• Butter or oil for the pan

Method

Crack your eggs into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in some salt and whisk. Next, pour in a bit of water and give it another good mix, then let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before cooking.

Get your non-stick pan heated to a medium-high temperature - this is important for fluffy curds. Pop in a splash of oil or a knob of butter to give your eggs that extra luxurious, creamy finish.

Let the eggs cook for a few minutes, then grab your spatula and gently nudge them about the pan once they begin to set.

But here's the golden rule - and it's absolutely crucial - whip those eggs off the heat while they're still "slightly wet".

The expert revealed: "They're going to keep on cooking even after they hit the plate."
