preparing the scrambled eggs:

1 tbsp Créme Fraiche (or substitute)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Seasoning
Mozzarella Cheese
My cousin, Ashley, and
I were originally intending to make a egg,
ham, cheese, and corn quesadilla for breakfast, but as you could see we decided to do
something a little different. A few weeks ago, I had stumbled across this new
way to cook scrambled eggs after watching videos on YouTube. I had been
watching Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course to teach myself to cook and
had been using this recipe as my go-to scrambled eggs breakfast for a couple of
weeks now. It really is that much better than traditional scrambled eggs! It
looks good, tastes great, and is extremely easy, so we thought we'd
post our results here.
Preparation:
So for this
meal the biggest step is the setup. Have all of the ingredients within reach
before you start cooking, it will really make things easier. If you don’t have
crème fraiche, I find that sour cream is a decent substitute. To season, I opt
to add pepper, salt, and dried parsley to my eggs. Cooking these eggs is
easiest if you have a small pot with high walls, but with enough care a small
skillet would work too.
Directions:
1. Put in about 1 tbsp of olive oil to
coat the pan. This will help prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan walls
when you start adding the heat.
2. Add the eggs and butter to the pan
and then turn on the heat. The butter will add a very smooth, velvety texture
to the eggs.
3. Using a spatula, beat the eggs in
the pan. After the initial beating, I find using a kind of folding motion helps
cook the eggs more evenly throughout.
4. Never stop beating the eggs! Take
the pan off the heat any time you notice that the egg starts to stick to the
pan or start to look dried out. (I find that 15 seconds on and 20 seconds off
works pretty well, but this varies with the stove)
5. After about 3 times on and off the
heat, the eggs should look moist but not mushy.
6. Take the pan off the heat and add
the crème fraiche to stop the egg from becoming overcooked. Fold the crème
fraiche into the eggs until it is throughout the scrambled eggs.
7. Season the eggs to taste and sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes and cheese.
And there
you have it! Delicious scrambled eggs that take about 3 minutes to make from
start to finish. Don’t worry if you did not get the timing down the first time
you make these scrambled eggs, practice makes perfect. Eventually you will be
making a great, wholesome breakfast in 5 minutes flat! I also prepared cooked tomatoes on the side by cooking the tomatoes with basil leaves to add some color to the dish.
*Tip:
If you are confident with your multitasking skills, start toasting bread or
heating bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. right before you start scrambling your
eggs and everything will be ready to eat by the time your eggs are done, saving
you time! Presentation will also make your breakfast seem that much more sophisticated.
-Happy Eating!
