Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Crack & Whisk the Eggs
- Crack eggs into a cold saucepan (not preheated).
- Add butter cubes directly into the eggs.
- Do not season yet—salt is added at the end to prevent watery eggs.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir eggs and butter to combine slightly.
Step 2: Start Cooking Over Low Heat
- Place pan over medium-low heat.
- Stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan and folding the eggs from the edges inward.
- Every 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat for 10–15 seconds while continuing to stir.
- 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
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, remove from heat.
- Stir in crème fraîche (or sour cream) to stop the cooking and add creaminess.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 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
- Can I use milk instead of crème fraîche?
You can, but crème fraîche gives a richer, creamier finish without thinning the eggs. - What’s the best pan to use?
A nonstick saucepan or small skillet works best to prevent sticking and control heat. - Can I make a smaller batch?
Yes—just reduce the eggs and butter proportionally. For 2 eggs, use 1 tbsp butter. - Can I add cheese?
Absolutely! Add finely grated cheese just after removing from heat. - Are these eggs healthy?
They’re rich but made with whole ingredients and full of protein—enjoy in moderation.
