🍳 Try This Gordon Ramsay’s Scrambled Eggs Recipe – Creamy, Luxurious & Foolproof


 



🍴 Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 6 large eggs (fresh, preferably free-range)
  • 1–2 tbsp unsalted butter (high quality)
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or crème fraîche (optional but recommended)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Chives or parsley (for garnish)

🌱 Dairy-free? Use full-fat coconut cream + vegan butter (use sparingly)

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Pan

  • Use a non-stick skillet or heavy-bottomed pan
  • Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and cream — whisk gently (don’t overbeat)

💡 Tip: Pre-warm the bowl slightly — cold eggs shock the pan.

Step 2: Cook Low and Slow

  • Melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-low heat
  • Pour in eggs and immediately start stirring with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon
  • Keep motion constant — figure-eight pattern works best

⚠️ No rushing. This should take 5–7 minutes, not 2.

Step 3: Pull Off Heat Early

  • When eggs are mostly set but still glossy and soft (like wet paint), remove from heat
  • Stir in remaining butter — it melts slowly, enriching the texture

✅ Key Move: Gordon takes the pan off the burner before they look done — carryover heat finishes them perfectly.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

  • Spoon onto warm plates
  • Season with cracked pepper and chopped chives
  • Serve with toasted sourdough, smoked salmon, or grilled tomatoes

🔥 Pro Tip: Warm your plates first — keeps eggs from cooling too fast.

✅ Tips for Success (From the Pros)

✅ Use fresh eggs
Bright yolks, firm whites — better flavor and texture
✅ Don’t over-whisk
Too much air = foaminess, not creaminess
✅ Stir constantly
Prevents large curds and sticking
✅ Add butter last
Melts evenly without burning
✅ Finish off-heat
Prevents overcooking — the #1 mistake

💡 For extra luxury: Fold in a teaspoon of truffle oil or caviar (yes, really).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I use milk instead of cream?

Yes — but cream has more fat, which gives the signature richness. Milk may make them watery.

❓ Why do my scrambled eggs turn out rubbery?

Likely cooked too hot or too long. Always use low heat and remove before fully set.

❓ Can I make these ahead?

Not ideal — best fresh. But you can prep ingredients and warm the pan in advance.
