Dolly Parton’s Introduction
Dolly Parton grew up in Tennessee, where Southern breakfasts are a way of life. Over the years, she perfected her scrambled eggs using a surprising trick, adding a few drops of ice water. This simple touch creates soft, fluffy eggs that melt in your mouth.
How Dolly Parton Makes Her Scrambled Eggs So Light
Instead of cream or butter, Dolly adds ice water when whisking her eggs. As the pan heats, the water turns to steam, creating that airy texture. Use just one or two teaspoons per serving. Too much water can make your egg recipe runny, so keep it minimal for the best result.
