I make my scrambled eggs the way he does

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

I tried his way a few times, did pickup some better technique for stirring, but mostly I still like mine how I've always made them. Have you seen the video of his (adult) son telling him that he likes his eggs different? I laughed pretty hard because it's exactly how i feel. "Yeah it's good but it takes 15 minutes!" Gordon being a dick about the pan too is just so on brand.

I saw that video at least 10 years ago and can't bring myself to do it any other way.

The secret trick is to scramble them.

His voice demonstrating that on TV is always on my mind when making scrambled eggs.

Never stop stirring. Never stop! NEVER STOP!

I, too, yell, "Fuck off, you donkey" at the egg carton until the eggs come out.

Good amount of butter in a warm pan, crack in 3 eggs, don't bother to whisk them. Just fuck them about with the spatula directly in the pan to scramble them. Keep them moving, keep stirring and scraping, moderate the heat by taking the pan off the burner. When they start to come together, add 1/4 cup of cream or sour cream, continue bothering the eggs until the consistency is how you like it. I like them fairly moist, but firm enough to stand up in a pile. Season, put over toast.

I like Worcestershire sauce and Apricot jam on my scramble eggs, I know that sounds treasonous but it's good

I mean generally the secret to making anything good is to make it 20-60% butter and then add heavy cream.

Just avoid sugar and you're fine

That's a dessert, not a meal.

My mom is from North England, so that's just how all our meals are. Auntie Elizabeth always said "butter makes everything better"

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

"butter makes everything better"

I originally read this as "butter makes everything butter"

Don't tell me how to live my life

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

I dump them in a measuring beaker with melted butter and microwave for two 60 second stretches, whisking in between with a fork 😁 So fancy

I can see that working out. Worcester sauce has a lot of salt, which helps with enhancing the flavor of other ingredients. I personally pre-scramble my eggs with cream, salt, & pepper and they turn out best when I have a good amount of salt included

The whole thing sounds treasonous.

Eh, I make eggs following Ramsay’s general directions. His recipe is more for creamy scrambled. I just use a little less butter and cream. The eggs still come out fluffy, light and more creamy than normal. Like greentext, I have received several complements on how they turn out. Except I don’t put jam on them.
