Scrambled eggs

The best scrambled eggs

This recipe is heavily influenced by how Heston Blumenthal makes his scrambled eggs. I have modified it slightly, and I do not use the water bath, but the end result is just amazing. Go ahead and try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tbsp double cream
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 oz butter

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the cream, salt and pepper and stir.
    Whisked eggs
  • Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Wait for it to brown, this is key.
    Melt the butter
  • The butter develops a nutty flavor when browned, so don’t rush it. When the butter has browned, turn off the heat completely and move the frying pan off the stove.

  • Pour the eggs into the frying pan and start stirring slowly. After 2-3 minutes you can move the pan back onto the stove, with the heat set to low.
    Beginning to coagulate
  • Now begins the process of slowly coagulating the eggs. This will (and must) take time. Stir slowly but regularly, if not constantly, with a plastic/wooden spoon. This will take approximately 15 minutes. Again, don’t rush it, let it take a little time, it will be worth it in the end.
