Ingredients You’ll Need

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (cubed and cold)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp crème fraîche or plain Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess and to cool the eggs)
• Optional garnish: chopped chives, parsley, or smoked salmon
• Toasted sourdough or brioche for serving

Tools You’ll Need
Nonstick saucepan or small skillet
Rubber or silicone spatula
Mixing bowl
Fork or whisk
Toaster or oven for bread

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crack the Eggs

1. Crack all eggs into a cold nonstick pan—do not preheat.
2. Add the cubes of cold butter directly into the pan with the eggs.
3. Do not season yet—salt draws out moisture too early.

Step 2: Stir and Heat

1. Place the pan over medium-high heat.
2. With a rubber spatula, stir continuously—don’t whisk. Scrape the bottom and sides of the pan constantly as it heats.
3. After about 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat but continue stirring for 10–15 seconds to prevent overcooking.
4. Return the pan to the heat and repeat the process: stir on the heat, then off the heat.

Step 3: Watch for the Perfect Texture

1. Repeat the on-off process for 3-4 minutes. The eggs will slowly thicken and turn creamy and soft.
2. When the eggs are about 90% cooked (still slightly runny), remove from the heat completely.

Step 4: Finish and Season

1. Stir in 1 tbsp of crème fraîche or plain Greek yogurt if using.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add optional garnishes like chopped chives or parsley.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

1. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto warm toasted bread—sourdough, brioche, or rustic artisan loaves work beautifully.
2. Serve with avocado slices, grilled tomatoes, or smoked salmon for a luxurious touch.

Tips for Perfect Gordon Ramsay-Style Scrambled Eggs
Use Cold Butter & Pan – This controls the heat and gives you better texture.
Stir Continuously – This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Don’t Salt Early – Seasoning at the end gives a better consistency.
Don’t Rush – The on-and-off heat method takes a few minutes but makes all the difference.
Serve Immediately – These eggs are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with crispy bacon or turkey sausage for a hearty breakfast.
Pair with roasted potatoes or sautéed mushrooms.
Top with truffle oil or shaved parmesan for a gourmet twist.
Make it a brunch plate with arugula salad and fresh fruit.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:

• Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.

Reheating:

• Reheat gently in a nonstick skillet over low heat with a splash of cream or milk, stirring constantly.
• Avoid microwaving—they’ll lose their creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes these eggs different from regular scrambled eggs?
   The technique! Cooking on and off the heat with cold butter gives them a custard-like, creamy consistency.
2. Can I skip the crème fraîche?
   Yes, it’s optional—but it adds tang and helps stop the cooking instantly.
3. Can I double the recipe?
   Yes, but be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Use a larger skillet and continue stirring constantly.
4. Why don’t you season the eggs at the beginning?
   Early salting draws moisture out, which can make eggs watery and rubbery.

Final Thoughts
These Gordon Ramsay-style scrambled eggs are the gold standard for how scrambled eggs should be—silky, rich, and full of flavor. Whether you’re serving them on toast or making a full breakfast plate, this technique transforms an everyday staple into a five-star experience.
