If you’re into extra creamy, extra soft scrambled eggs, this recipe is for you. Make it for breakfast tomorrow!
These soft scrambled eggs are my husband’s favorite. He requests them weekly and will only eat eggs this way now. They are delicate and creamy, melt in your mouth kind of awesome. Perfect on a piece of toast. Serve them with avocado, turkey bacon (or regular bacon), potatoes, fruit. You can’t go wrong with these!
The main difference between eggs this way and classic scrambled eggs are that these are a bit more runny and soft with small curds of egg. If you prefer larger curds that are fluffier, this method may not be for you. Personally, I love them both ways, it just depends what mood I’m in!
My husband and I were watching Master Chef and one of the challenges was to make Gordon Ramsey’s soft scrambled eggs. It had us drooling, so I had to make them the next day. However I didn’t have all the ingredients needed, so I improvised. These are similar but slightly different to his.
Cooking Tips:
There are a few tricks and important steps to make these the creamiest, soft scrambled eggs of all time. One, start your eggs and butter in a cold non-stick pot – don’t heat it first. This allows the butter to slowly melt into the eggs, making the final result very creamy. This is also part what helps form the small curds. Two, you must keep moving the pot on and off the heat. This also helps form those wonderful small curds. It will also help you keep control of the heat so that the eggs don’t overcook, staying a bit runny and creamy, too.
Ingredient Notes:
- Goat Cheese – Cream cheese can be used here instead, if you don’t have goat cheese.
- Parsley – I love something green as a garnish. Chives work well here, too. However feel free to leave off if you want.
