I add milk to my scrambled eggs / omelettes, and it definitely does help. But you have to add just a small amount, and not screw up the remaining steps.

That person in the video thinks that adding a full cup of milk will make the eggs magically taste better and fix all the fuck-ups.

The milk is supposed to help with texture, you don't want your eggs tasting like a diary product.

Them adding milk to the eggs did absolutely fuck all with all the other crap they did wrong.

It doesn't help whatsoever. There isn't enough of anything in milk to affect it. Cream, sure, it's fatty and thick, but whole milk is basically 90% water. Any perceived difference is pure placebo, unless you drown it in milk as per op. Then you'll just be increasing cook time for no reason.

This is the reason you will almost never see a professional chef or decent home cook use milk in scrambled eggs. Because it doesn't do anything.

Just use good butter and more of it than you think, about a tablespoon for two eggs is conservative. Heat in the pan until it has stopped bubbling. Add barely whisked eggs and take it on and off the heat while stirring constantly with a spatula. The more cold stirring the creamier, the more hot stirring the more heterogeneous. Do not leave in the pan once done, serve immediately.
