Whisk and season your scrambled eggs prior to adding to the pan

Whisking eggs before cooking is an important step in breaking down proteins. When you add eggs directly to the heat and scramble them in the pan, the eggs become rubbery. Using a fork to whisk your eggs rather than a balloon whisk (which can trap too much air) traps air inside the eggs, resulting in a fluffy, soft scramble. Even whisking for 15 seconds can make the difference between good and bad scrambled eggs.

While whisking your eggs, you can add your seasonings to the mix. After all, no one wants a peppercorn or a ball of garlic powder on their plate. The best time to season your scrambled eggs is about 15 minutes before you cook them. This window of time may be inconvenient, but it is critical for softening and flavoring the eggs.
