Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crack and Prep the Eggs

1. Crack all eggs into a cold nonstick skillet or saucepan—do not beat them beforehand.
2. Add the butter cubes directly into the eggs.
3. Place the pan on medium-high heat.

Step 2: Cook with Control

1. Stir continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan constantly.
2. After about 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat and continue stirring for 10–15 seconds.
3. Return to the heat and repeat this process (on and off) for about 3–4 minutes.
4. The eggs will slowly thicken and form soft curds with a creamy texture.

Step 3: Finish the Eggs

1. Once the eggs are just set but still soft and glossy, remove from heat completely.
2. Stir in the crème fraîche to cool and stop the cooking.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Garnish with chopped chives if using.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

1. Spoon the eggs over toasted bread or serve on their own.
2. Add toppings like avocado, smoked salmon, or roasted veggies if desired.
3. Enjoy while hot for the best texture.

Tips for Perfect Gordon Ramsay Scrambled Eggs
Start Cold – Putting the eggs in a cold pan allows for more control and slower cooking.
Keep Stirring – Constant motion creates the creamy, small curds.
Use Good Butter – It’s a key flavor component, so go for quality.
Don’t Season Early – Adding salt too soon can break down the eggs’ texture.
Add Crème Fraîche – It cools the eggs and adds a luxurious tang.

Serving Suggestions
Top with microgreens and chili flakes for a modern brunch plate.
Add to a toasted croissant with cheese and arugula for a breakfast sandwich.
Serve alongside roasted potatoes or grilled asparagus.
Pair with fresh fruit or orange juice for a complete breakfast.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
These eggs are best served fresh. If you must store leftovers, keep them 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 milk or cream, stirring often. Do not microwave—they’ll lose their delicate texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use milk instead of crème fraîche?
   Milk can make eggs watery. Crème fraîche or Greek yogurt works best for creaminess and stability.
2. What kind of pan is best?
   A nonstick skillet or saucepan is ideal to prevent sticking and promote gentle cooking.
3. Can I double the recipe?
   Yes—just make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed.
4. Is this method hard to master?
   Not at all! It just takes a little patience and attention. Once you try it, you’ll never go back.
5. Why not beat the eggs first?
   Starting with whole eggs in the pan gives a creamier texture and better control over the curds.
