Gordon Ramsay’s Scrambled Eggs
As one of the most famous chefs and TV personalities around the world, Gordon Ramsay doesn’t really need an introduction. If there’s ever one easy recipe to master from his array of cookbooks, it’s definitely this one - his famous scrambled eggs.
Ingredients:
6 cold eggs
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 tablespoon of creme fraiche
Salt
Pepper
Forget about beatings eggs in a bowl; instead, crack the eggs directly into a cold saucepan. Add in the butter, and turn on the heat. Constantly stir to get those beautiful, small curds, removing the saucepan from the heat periodically to prevent overcooking. Just before they’re done, mix in some creme fraiche for added creaminess and season with salt and pepper. Voila! You’ll never taste more scrumptious scrambled eggs.
