The scrambled eggs in this recipe come out lighter, fluffier, and tastier with the addition of club soda, or by adding ¼ teaspoon of cornstarch per egg.
Egg substitutes offer an obvious health benefit because they are lower
in calories than eggs and are cholesterol free. They can be substituted
for regular eggs in most recipes (except for some specialty desserts
and baked goods).
