As autumn settles in, our appetites shift towards heartier fare, and there’s nothing quite like a warming breakfast to kickstart your day when there’s a nip in the air. Getting scrambled eggs to that perfect creamy consistency can be a right faff – whilst we’ve all savoured silky smooth versions in cafés and restaurants, recreating that magic at home often ends in disappointment. But fear not, because there’s now a guaranteed method to nail the ultimate creamy scrambled eggs in your own kitchen, thanks to Gordon Ramsay’s secret weapon ingredient. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite before heading to the office or indulging in a lazy Saturday morning feast, this recipe will keep you satisfied for ages – and it’s absolutely packed with flavour. With just five simple ingredients, you’ll have restaurant-quality creamy eggs ready in mere minutes, setting you up perfectly for whatever the day throws at you, reports the Express . All you need is 6 chilled eggs, 15g butter, seasoning, crème fraîche and chives to get cracking with this luscious scrambled egg method from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay – famed for his fiery antics on Hell’s Kitchen. Eggs are brimming with essential vitamins and minerals whilst being surprisingly low in calories, according to the ‘egg info’ website run by British Lion eggs, which breaks down all the goodness packed into these protein powerhouses. According to their site: “Eggs are a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. “Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. “They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline, and other essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus.” Not only is this straightforward recipe a delight for the taste buds, but it’s also packed with nutrients, making these creamy scrambled eggs both delicious and nutritious. The method to create Gordon Ramsay’s perfect scrambled eggs is outlined on his official website, promising a quick and easy path to breakfast bliss. To start, crack six cold eggs ‘into a deep saucepan, then add the butter’. Gordon offers a handy hint for those cooking in smaller quantities, suggesting a ‘2-to-1 eggs-to-butter ratio’. With your eggs and butter ready in the pan, crank up the heat. Keep the mixture moving with a rubber spatula – Ramsay insists ‘don’t whisk’ – ensuring you’re scraping the bottom of the pan as everything cooks together. After half a minute off the heat, continue stirring. Then, return the pan to the flame for brief intervals, repeating this process for three minutes. When there’s just a minute left, season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, and for that extra indulgent touch, Ramsay recommends folding in 1 tsp of crème fraîche. Serve the eggs up with a slice of toast if desired, sprinkle some chopped chives for garnish, and tuck in!
