You’re probably most familiar with the seasoning in the cloudy soup from your favorite Japanese restaurant, but miso can do so much more. A spoonful of white miso whipped into scrambled eggs gives the eggs new life—adding delightfully earthy, savory undertones to an otherwise bland pile of eggs.

But adding a little something extra can give your eggs an ultra-silky texture—along with these tricks for making the perfect eggs.
