• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 tbsp crème fraîche (or sour cream, optional but recommended)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ons:

• Chopped chives or green onions
• Sliced smoked salmon

Tools You’ll Need

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crack & Whisk the Eggs

1. Crack eggs into a cold saucepan (not preheated).
2. Add butter cubes directly into the eggs.
3. Do not season yet—salt is added at the end to prevent watery eggs.
4. Using a rubber spatula, stir eggs and butter to combine slightly.

Step 2: Start Cooking Over Low Heat

1. Place pan over medium-low heat.
2. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan and folding the eggs from the edges inward.
3. Every 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat for 10–15 seconds while continuing to stir.
4. Alternate pan on and off the heat for 3–4 minutes, until the eggs begin to form soft, creamy curds.

Step 3: Finish with Crème Fraîche & Seasoning

1. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, remove from heat.
2. Stir in crème fraîche (or sour cream) to stop the cooking and add creaminess.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve immediately while hot and silky.

Tips for Perfect Gordon Ramsay Scrambled Eggs
Start Cold – Cold pan and butter help control the cooking.
Keep Stirring – Constant movement creates small, creamy curds.
Don’t Overcook – Remove while slightly underdone—they’ll finish with residual heat.
Use Crème Fraîche – It cools the eggs and adds tangy richness.
Wait to Season – Salting early draws out moisture and changes texture.

Serving Suggestions
With Toast – Sourdough, rye, or English muffins work beautifully.
Topped with Herbs – Chives, tarragon, or dill add freshness.
With Smoked Salmon – Adds a salty, savory contrast.
With Avocado – Creamy eggs and avocado are a dream duo.
Breakfast Board – Add bacon, fruit, and roasted tomatoes for a full brunch spread.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
These are best eaten fresh, but if needed:
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Reheating:
Stovetop: Gently reheat in a nonstick skillet over low heat with a splash of milk or crème fraîche.
Microwave: Not recommended, as it may overcook and ruin the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use milk instead of crème fraîche?
   You can, but crème fraîche gives a richer, creamier finish without thinning the eggs.
2. What’s the best pan to use?
   A nonstick saucepan or small skillet works best to prevent sticking and control heat.
3. Can I make a smaller batch?
   Yes—just reduce the eggs and butter proportionally. For 2 eggs, use 1 tbsp butter.
4. Can I add cheese?
   Absolutely! Add finely grated cheese just after removing from heat.
5. Are these eggs healthy?
   They’re rich but made with whole ingredients and full of protein—enjoy in moderation.
