A trick I learned from a server IHOP is to put a small amount of pancake batter in your scrambled eggs before it goes into the pan.

edit: added "a server" as I've never worked there

I worked at IHOP back before it was an acronym. It was one of the old original Swiss alpine buildings. I was 15 and a dishwasher, also responsible for feeding supplies from the walk-in to the cooks. The pancake batter came in five gallon buckets from S.E.Rykof, a restaurant supply company. There was nothing special about their pancakes. I’ve never eaten there since, and that was in 1985.
