the perfect scrambled eggs

You probably rolled your eyes. I don’t blame you. Scrambled eggs are such a simple dish to throw together, and I have no doubt in my mind that you know how to cook them.

I personally have cooked scrambled eggs the same way for years, and they’ve always turned out fine. But a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across a video of Gordon Ramsay’s technique for scrambling eggs, and I’m never turning back. They come out so rich, dense and creamy, and it’s all just in the technique (well, technique and a little creme fraiche). On top of that, they require fewer dishes and are incredibly simple to make.

For this technique, you’re going to have to throw out everything you know about making scrambled eggs. It doesn’t involve a whisk, requires a saucepan instead of a skillet, and asks you to place the eggs and butter directly into a cold pan.

Watch this video for a tutorial of how to make them, and I encourage you to give them a try!
