Scrambled Eggs


Scrambled Eggs

A delicious way to start your day.

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Cream
  • 1 Pinch of Salt
  • 10 g Butter

Method

  1. Place eggs, cream and salt in a bowl and whisk together.
  2. Melt butter in a non-stick frying pan over high heat, taking care not to burn the butter.
  3. Pour in egg mixture and cook for 20 seconds, or until gently set around the edge.
  4. Stir the eggs with a wooden spoon, gently bringing the egg mixture on the outside of the pan to the centre.
  5. The idea is to fold the eggs rather than to scramble them.
  6. Leave to cook for 20 seconds longer and repeat the folding process.
  7. When the eggs are just set (remembering that they will continue cooking as they rest), turn out onto a plate and serve with hot toast.

Notes & Tips

Note: If you are making more than two serves of scrambled eggs, make sure you cook separate batches so as not to crowd the frying pan.

    Cream is the way to go! I don't even measure it. Makes a world of difference the way eggs turn out. ALSO use cream for white sauce and gravy. Depending of volumn require, you can add a heaping tablespoon or so of flower to the cream before proceeding. I whip the flower and cream thoroughly before adding it to the pan. I can go on about this, but the bottom line is that cream for sauce and eggs is what makes the difference between great flood and bla.

    With respect to health, just don't worry. Cream is not hydraginated. And, come on, really. Would you be eating dishes like these 4 times a day, 7 days a week? Glutteny is another factor in health. If you eat too much of anything and don't exercise, you'll become fat. The lack of exercise will hurt you far more than what you eat.

    If you use milk, the results are too watery. Half and half seems to work roughly as well, but it's still fattening and delicious either way. Not a daily breakfast by any means, but beautiful once a week. As for salt, it does not significantly affect the texture either way.

    Used Bill's technique this morning. Used coconut milk (tbsp) since there wasn't any cream in the fridge. Added feta and chopped mint at the end. So delicious.

    Bill's not a qualified chef by the way...

      No, he isn't, but that does not make him a mediocre chef, just because he doesn't has a stupid title. He's just good at what he does. Simple.

    The only way to make scramble eggs. With Cream, fantastic, with milk, boring.

    These eggs are divine, and I agree, who wants to argue with a qualified chef, not us novice cooks thats for sure. If you don't like the sound of cream, DON'T MAKE IT!!

    isnt that the whole point of a recipe to follow it. Its almost like saying: What ? Fry an egg? no you have to boil it because its less fattening...

    who's going to argue with Bill Granger?? Not me... if he says .3 cup of cream, then that's what I'll use! Go Bill!

    A third of a cup of cream sounds an awful lot for just 2 eggs, even if they're the XXL 80gm variety. And I never add salt before cooking eggs because it makes them hard rather than soft and creamy for some strange reason which I have yet to find out. I agree with Yuri, regular milk is fine and the result is just as good.

    Cream? This is the sort of recipe the Graeme "the Galloping Gourmet" Kerr used to push in the '70s... until he had a heart attack. Try regular milk instead folks. Go nuts & throw in some parsley or chives for colour.

      One of the keys to good health is moderation. No one would eat these superb scrambled eggs all the time, but I have to tell you, these are the only scrambled eggs we eat in our house. You really are missing the point.

      If you use cream there's no need for butter on the toast....I have them like this once a week.

      there's a massive difference in the texture if you use milk - boring standard scrambled eggs. Cream lifts them into another dimension. You don't have to eat this everyday you know...
