Scrambled eggs may seem simple, but there’s one crucial ingredient Gordon Ramsay swears by to take them to the next level.
The acclaimed chef, restaurateur and TV personality recommended adding crème fraîche for a perfect balance of texture and flavour.
In a video with Hexclad, where he demonstrated his method for cooking flawless scrambled eggs, Ramsay revealed that he adds a dollop of crème fraîche at the end, which cools the eggs and creates a silky, smooth consistency.
In the video, Ramsay uses a non-stick pan to prepare scrambled eggs, finishing them with fresh chives for an added burst of flavour.
Crème fraîche is a luxurious, velvety dairy product with a subtle tang, made by fermenting heavy cream and is great for elevating both savoury and sweet dishes, offering a rich and indulgent touch to any recipe.
In the video, Gordon Ramsay revealed that the secret to perfect scrambled eggs is to cook them on and off the heat.
By frequently removing the pan from the heat, the eggs cook gently and evenly, ensuring a soft, creamy texture without the risk of overcooking.
Ramsay emphasised that preventing the eggs from overcooking is key.
He also stressed never to whisk the eggs before cooking, as it could make them have a grainy texture.
Gordon Ramsay started by adding a few knobs of butter to the pan before placing it on the stove and turning the heat on.
He then gently stirred the eggs with a rubber spatula, making sure to break them up continuously.
Ramsay emphasised the importance of working on and off the heat throughout the process, removing the pan from the flame three or four times to ensure a soft, creamy texture without overcooking.
