I will never be able to make eggs any other way. Simply sumptious!\n”\nVirginia\nPrepare to be  hooked on Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs. Once you try them, you’ll understand why. Creamy, silky, custardy, perfectly cooked every time in just 4 minutes. I thought I knew how to make scrambled eggs. Nope. There is no comparison. Make them once and you will be a convert.\nIf you like your eggs dry and rubbery, this recipe probably isn’t for you.\nNo judgement 🙂 But if you’re after luscious scrambled eggs with a simple technique, prepare to be converted.\nWhat to expect\nThe method is surprisingly simple\n– no whisk, no mixing bowl, no fuss. Just a non-stick skillet, a silicone spatula, and a few minutes of focus.\nForget about your current method\n. Instead of pre-whisking and low, steady heat, you’ll be stirring constantly and pulling the pan on and off the heat for about 3 minutes.\nThe payoff?\nWickedly good scrambled eggs – with a silky, rich, custardy texture – in under 6 minutes (toast included).\nIt’s easy to scale\nfor one or a crowd – once you try it, you’ll never go back.\nView More\nIngredients – tailored to your taste\nEggs:\nUse\ncold\nfresh eggs.\nButter\n: Unsalted butter is best, but use whatever you have on hand (not margarine).\nSour cream\n: Used to cool the eggs at the end, stopping the cooking process, and creating a creamier texture.\nChives\nadd lovely flavor and color.\nSubstitutions\nSour cream:\nReplace with crème fraîche, heavy cream, plain yogurt or cold butter if you prefer.\nChives:\nSubstitute with finely chopped green onions or fresh herbs like tarragon, parsley, dill or thyme.\nVariations\nAdd-ins:\nSauté other\nveggies\nlike chopped mushrooms, jalapeno or bell peppers before you cook the eggs (or in a separate pan). Set them aside and mix them in at the very end.\nIncorporate\ncheese\nat the end of cooking, such as gruyère or boursin.\nGarnish\nwith extra chives, other fresh herbs, olives, sundried tomatoes, chopped pitted olives, crumbled feta or goat cheese, or some freshly grated Parmesan cheese or shavings.\nStep-by-step technique\nTips\nStir, don’t whisk\nthe eggs.\nFor smaller batches\nwith only 2-3 eggs, you will need a little less cooking time unless your pan is quite small.\nSeason at the END\n, not while cooking. This prevents watery eggs.\nFor extra creaminess\n(optional), add a little bit of sour cream, yogurt or cold butter as a final step. The coolness also helps stop the cooking process and prevent overcooked eggs.\nWhat to serve with scrambled eggs\nEggs go with almost anything. Chef Gordon Ramsay serves his creamy scrambled eggs on a thick piece of sourdough bread. I prefer a toasted buttered\nEnglish muffin\n. You can also spoon them into a warm tortilla with salsa, or finish them with a drizzle of fresh\npesto\n.\nFor a fully plate, Ramsay often sautés whole mushrooms and vine tomatoes in a separate pan. Here are some other simple sides if you want a complete meal:\nBacon, ham or sausage\nFresh cut-up fruit or berries\nHomemade Montreal bagels\n(the best!)\nSliced or cherry tomatoes and avocado slices\nLox and bagels\nA bowl of yogurt with fruit\nA bowl of\ninstant pot oatmeal\nwith fruit\nMoist banana bread\nor\nbanana blueberry muffins\nRecipe FAQs\nWhich eggs are healthiest to buy?\nAccording to\nFood and Nutrition\n,\nconventional eggs are perfectly fine\n. If you don’t eat fish or plant sources like flax or chia seeds, then Omega-3-enriched eggs might be a healthier choice.\nAre brown eggs better than white eggs?\nBrown and white eggs are identical except for their color. All eggs are nutritionally similar, regardless of their size, grade, or color, according to Healthline.\nShould I add milk or cream to scrambled eggs?\nNot for this style. The creaminess comes from constant stirring on and off the heat. If you want richer eggs, stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche, sour cream or yogurt off the heat at the very end.\nWhy do scrambled eggs get watery or rubbery?\nUsually, the heat’s too high or the eggs are cooked a bit too long. Remove them from the pan while they’re still soft and on the looser side – residual heat finishes the job.\nHow many eggs do I need per person for scrambled eggs?\nThe standard portion is 2 eggs per person. Or 3 for larger appetites.\nWhat is the best pan to use for scrambled eggs?\nA non-stick skillet works best. Pair it with a silicone spatula that helps you sweep the bottom of the pan for a soft, custardy texture.\nPlease leave a 5 star rating ***** with a comment in the recipe card below if you like the recipe, Thank you so much!\nGordon Ramsay scrambled eggs are creamy, silky, custardy and perfectly cooked in just a few minutes – every time.

I just came across your page while looking for Gordon Ramsay’s recipe. I like how you note how to adapt it for 1 or 2 servings as well. Have you tried to make it in larger amounts, for instance, for a group of 8 or 10 servings? Would the ratios\/outcome be the same or would you suggest doing it as multiple smaller batches?

I would make the eggs all together if you have a larger nonstick skillet. It will take a little longer, depending on the size of the pan, but just keep going back and forth on and off the heat until you get the consistency you like. Have everything ready by the stove.

I will never be able to make eggs any other way. Simply sumptious\\!*” ***Virginia***\n\nPrepare to be hooked on Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs. Once you try them, you’ll understand why. Creamy, silky, custardy, perfectly cooked every time in just 4 minutes. I thought I knew how to make scrambled eggs. Nope. There is no comparison. Make them once and you will be a convert.\n\n![scrambled eggs on english muffin on plate](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-1.jpg)\n\n**If you like your eggs dry and rubbery, this recipe probably isn’t for you.** No judgement 🙂 But if you’re after luscious scrambled eggs with a simple technique, prepare to be converted.\n\n## What to expect\n**The method is surprisingly simple** – no whisk, no mixing bowl, no fuss. Just a non-stick skillet, a silicone spatula, and a few minutes of focus.\n\n**Forget about your current method**. Instead of pre-whisking and low, steady heat, you’ll be stirring constantly and pulling the pan on and off the heat for about 3 minutes.\n\n**The payoff?** Wickedly good scrambled eggs – with a silky, rich, custardy texture – in under 6 minutes (toast included).\n\n**It’s easy to scale** for one or a crowd – once you try it, you’ll never go back.\n\nView More\n\n## Ingredients – tailored to your taste\n![2 eggs, butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, chives](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-8.jpg)\n\n- **Eggs:** Use *cold* fresh eggs.\n- **Butter**: Unsalted butter is best, but use whatever you have on hand (not margarine).\n- **Sour cream**: Used to cool the eggs at the end, stopping the cooking process, and creating a creamier texture.\n- **Chives** add lovely flavor and color.\n### Substitutions\n- **Sour cream:** Replace with crème fraîche, heavy cream, plain yogurt or cold butter if you prefer.\n- **Chives:** Substitute with finely chopped green onions or fresh herbs like tarragon, parsley, dill or thyme.\n### Variations\n- **Add-ins:**\n  - Sauté other **veggies** like chopped mushrooms, jalapeno or bell peppers before you cook the eggs (or in a separate pan). Set them aside and mix them in at the very end.\n  - Incorporate **cheese** at the end of cooking, such as gruyère or boursin.\n- **Garnish** with extra chives, other fresh herbs, olives, sundried tomatoes, chopped pitted olives, crumbled feta or goat cheese, or some freshly grated Parmesan cheese or shavings.\n## Step-by-step technique\n## Tips\n1. **Stir, don’t whisk** the eggs.\n2. **For smaller batches** with only 2-3 eggs, you will need a little less cooking time unless your pan is quite small.\n3. **Season at the END**, not while cooking. This prevents watery eggs.\n4. **For extra creaminess** (optional), add a little bit of sour cream, yogurt or cold butter as a final step. The coolness also helps stop the cooking process and prevent overcooked eggs.\n\n## What to serve with scrambled eggs\nEggs go with almost anything. Chef Gordon Ramsay serves his creamy scrambled eggs on a thick piece of sourdough bread. I prefer a toasted buttered [English muffin](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/homemade-english-muffins-easy-step-by-step\/). You can also spoon them into a warm tortilla with salsa, or finish them with a drizzle of fresh [pesto](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/classic-basil-pesto\/).\n\nFor a fully plate, Ramsay often sautés whole mushrooms and vine tomatoes in a separate pan. Here are some other simple sides if you want a complete meal:\n\n- Bacon, ham or sausage\n- Fresh cut-up fruit or berries\n- [Homemade Montreal bagels](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/montreal-bagel-recipe\/) (the best!)\n- Sliced or cherry tomatoes and avocado slices\n- [Lox and bagels](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/lox-and-bagels\/)\n- A bowl of yogurt with fruit\n- A bowl of [instant pot oatmeal](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/instant-pot-oatmeal-recipe\/) with fruit\n- [Moist banana bread](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/super-moist-banana-bread-with-a-spoon\/) or [banana blueberry muffins](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/banana-muffins-with-blueberries-moist-and-fluffy\/)\n## Recipe FAQs\n\n**Which eggs are healthiest to buy?**\n\nAccording to [Food and Nutrition](https:\/\/click.convertkit-mail2.com\/8ku39lwxlgsoh4vlxghk\/9qhzhdug0680kxbz\/aHR0cHM6Ly9mb29kYW5kbnV0cml0aW9uLm9yZy9ibG9ncy9zdG9uZS1zb3VwL3R5cGUtZWdncy1idXkv), *conventional eggs are perfectly fine*. If you don’t eat fish or plant sources like flax or chia seeds, then Omega-3-enriched eggs might be a healthier choice.\n\n**Are brown eggs better than white eggs?**\n\nBrown and white eggs are identical except for their color. All eggs are nutritionally similar, regardless of their size, grade, or color, according to Healthline.\n\n**Should I add milk or cream to scrambled eggs?**\n\nNot for this style. The creaminess comes from constant stirring on and off the heat. If you want richer eggs, stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche, sour cream or yogurt off the heat at the very end.\n\n**Why do scrambled eggs get watery or rubbery?**\n\nUsually, the heat’s too high or the eggs are cooked a bit too long. Remove them from the pan while they’re still soft and on the looser side – residual heat finishes the job.\n\n**How many eggs do I need per person for scrambled eggs?**\n\nThe standard portion is 2 eggs per person. Or 3 for larger appetites.\n\n**What is the best pan to use for scrambled eggs?**\n\nA non-stick skillet works best. Pair it with a silicone spatula that helps you sweep the bottom of the pan for a soft, custardy texture.\n\n![scrambled eggs on English muffin on plate.](https:\/\/twokooksinthekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-7.jpg)\n\n**Please leave a 5 star rating \\*\\*\\*\\*\\* with a comment in the recipe card below if you like the recipe, Thank you so much\\!**\n\nGordon Ramsay scrambled eggs are creamy, silky, custardy and perfectly cooked in just a few minutes – every time.

Other sides : English muffins, thick slice of sourdough bread, bacon, sausage, ham, pancetta, fresh fruit, berries, yogurt, salsa, cherry tomatoes and avocado slices. Garnish eggs with extra chives, parsley or freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese, feta, goat cheese, chopped olives, sundried tomatoes, chili crisp or chili flakes (for heat). Ingredients for different serving sizes: 2 eggs – 1 teaspoon butter – 1 teaspoon sour cream – 2 teaspoons chives – 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or less (for one person) 4 eggs – 2 teaspoons butter – 2 teaspoons sour cream – 4 teaspoons chives – 1/2 teaspoon salt or less (for 2 people ). Make ahead: These eggs are best eaten fresh, straight from the skillet. If they have cooled while you’re waiting for late risers or your bread to toast, warm them for 20-30 seconds in the microwave on medium heat Nutrition values are estimates and include 2 eggs per serving with a small dab of sour cream.

I will never be able to make eggs any other way. Simply sumptious\!” *Virginia* Prepare to be hooked on Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs. Once you try them, you’ll understand why. Creamy, silky, custardy, perfectly cooked every time in just 4 minutes. I thought I knew how to make scrambled eggs. Nope. There is no comparison. Make them once and you will be a convert. ![scrambled eggs on english muffin on plate](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-1.jpg) If you like your eggs dry and rubbery, this recipe probably isn’t for you. No judgement 🙂 But if you’re after luscious scrambled eggs with a simple technique, prepare to be converted. ## What to expect The method is surprisingly simple – no whisk, no mixing bowl, no fuss. Just a non-stick skillet, a silicone spatula, and a few minutes of focus. Forget about your current method. Instead of pre-whisking and low, steady heat, you’ll be stirring constantly and pulling the pan on and off the heat for about 3 minutes. The payoff? Wickedly good scrambled eggs – with a silky, rich, custardy texture – in under 6 minutes (toast included). It’s easy to scale for one or a crowd – once you try it, you’ll never go back.

Set them aside and mix them in at the very end. - Incorporate cheese at the end of cooking, such as gruyère or boursin. - Garnish with extra chives, other fresh herbs, olives, sundried tomatoes, chopped pitted olives, crumbled feta or goat cheese, or some freshly grated Parmesan cheese or shavings. ## Step-by-step technique ![6 cracked raw eggs and butter in skillet](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsay-08-1200x800.jpg) Place cold eggs and butter in a pan, heat on medium-high heat, and stir with a rubber spatula (don’t whisk) ![liquidy eggs stirred in skillet with rubber spatula](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsay-09-1200x800.jpg) When curds begin to form, move the pan off the heat and keep stirring another 10 seconds. ![slightly thickened eggs stirred in skillet with rubber spatula](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsay-10-1200x800.jpg) Back on heat, keep stirring. Repeat on and off heat 3-4 times for a total of ~3 minutes. ![scrambled eggs in skillet with spatula](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsay-11-1200x800.jpg) Scrape bottom of pan while stirring. Finish eggs off heat. ![chives and sour cream added to scrambled eggs in skillet](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsay-12.jpg) Stir in a dab of sour cream to stop eggs from cooking – plus salt, black pepper, and chives ![scrambled eggs on english muffin on plate](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-6.jpg) Slide eggs onto a piece of toast and serve. ## Tips 1. Stir, don’t whisk the eggs. 2. For smaller batches with only 2-3 eggs, you will need a little less cooking time unless your pan is quite small. 3. Season at the END, not while cooking. This prevents watery eggs. 4. For extra creaminess (optional), add a little bit of sour cream, yogurt or cold butter as a final step. The coolness also helps stop the cooking process and prevent overcooked eggs. ## What to serve with scrambled eggs Eggs go with almost anything. Chef Gordon Ramsay serves his creamy scrambled eggs on a thick piece of sourdough bread. I prefer a toasted buttered [English muffin](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/homemade-english-muffins-easy-step-by-step/). You can also spoon them into a warm tortilla with salsa, or finish them with a drizzle of fresh [pesto](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/classic-basil-pesto/). For a fully plate, Ramsay often sautés whole mushrooms and vine tomatoes in a separate pan. Here are some other simple sides if you want a complete meal: - Bacon, ham or sausage - Fresh cut-up fruit or berries - [Homemade Montreal bagels](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/montreal-bagel-recipe/) (the best!) - Sliced or cherry tomatoes and avocado slices - [Lox and bagels](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/lox-and-bagels/) - A bowl of yogurt with fruit - A bowl of [instant pot oatmeal](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/instant-pot-oatmeal-recipe/) with fruit - [Moist banana bread](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/super-moist-banana-bread-with-a-spoon/) or [banana blueberry muffins](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/banana-muffins-with-blueberries-moist-and-fluffy/) ## Recipe FAQs Which eggs are healthiest to buy? According to [Food and Nutrition](https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/8ku39lwxlgsoh4vlxghk/9qhzhdug0680kxbz/aHR0cHM6Ly9mb29kYW5kbnV0cml0aW9uLm9yZy9ibG9ncy9zdG9uZS1zb3VwL3R5cGUtZWdncy1idXkv), conventional eggs are perfectly fine. If you don’t eat fish or plant sources like flax or chia seeds, then Omega-3-enriched eggs might be a healthier choice. Are brown eggs better than white eggs? Brown and white eggs are identical except for their color. All eggs are nutritionally similar, regardless of their size, grade, or color, according to Healthline. Should I add milk or cream to scrambled eggs? Not for this style. The creaminess comes from constant stirring on and off the heat. If you want richer eggs, stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche, sour cream or yogurt off the heat at the very end. Why do scrambled eggs get watery or rubbery? Usually, the heat’s too high or the eggs are cooked a bit too long. Remove them from the pan while they’re still soft and on the looser side – residual heat finishes the job. How many eggs do I need per person for scrambled eggs? The standard portion is 2 eggs per person. Or 3 for larger appetites. What is the best pan to use for scrambled eggs? A non-stick skillet works best. Pair it with a silicone spatula that helps you sweep the bottom of the pan for a soft, custardy texture. ![scrambled eggs on English muffin on plate.](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-7.jpg) ## Other breakfast recipes with eggs - [make-ahead breakfast burritos with caramelized onions](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/make-ahead-breakfast-burritos-with-caramelized-onions/) - [Dutch pancake recipe](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/simple-dutch-pancake-recipe/) (also called German pancake) - [sous vide poached eggs (with easy hollandaise)](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/sous-vide-poached-eggs-with-easy-hollandaise/) - [apple French toast casserole](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/make-ahead-baked-apple-pear-french-toast/) - [breakfast casserole egg bake](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/breakfast-egg-bake/) *Please leave a 5 star rating \\\\\ with a comment in the recipe card below if you like the recipe, Thank you so much\!** [![scrambled eggs on english muffin on plate](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-1.jpg)](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-1.jpg) [Print Recipe](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wprm_print/gordon-ramsay-scrambled-eggs) [Save](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/gordon-ramsey-scrambled-eggs-foolproof/) [Recipe Saved\!](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/gordon-ramsey-scrambled-eggs-foolproof/) [Pin](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwokooksinthekitchen.com%2Fgordon-ramsey-scrambled-eggs-foolproof%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Ftwokooksinthekitchen.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F11%2Fscrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-5.jpg&description=Gordon+Ramsay+scrambled+eggs+are+creamy%2C+silky%2C+custardy+and+perfectly+cooked+in+just+a+few+minutes+-+every+time.+Once+you+try+this+easy+technique%2C+you%26%2339%3Bll+never+turn+back.&is_video=false) #### Rate this recipe here 5 from 22 votes ## Gordon Ramsay Scrambled Eggs Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs are creamy, silky, custardy and perfectly cooked in just a few minutes – every time. Once you try this easy technique, you'll never turn back. Prep Time1 minute min Cook Time3 minutes mins Total Time4 minutes mins Course: Breakfast, brunch Cuisine: American, British Diet: Vegetarian Servings: [3](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/gordon-ramsey-scrambled-eggs-foolproof/) Author: [Cheryl Avrich](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/cheryl-and-jenna/) ### Ingredients - ▢ 6 fresh eggs cold - ▢ 1 tablespoon sour cream – optional but good\! (or crème fraîche, yogurt or cold butter) - ▢ kosher or sea salt, black pepper - ▢ 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives ### Instructions - If you are serving the eggs on toast, start your toast now. - START EGGS: Crack 6 eggs into a deep saucepan or nonstick skillet (cast-iron is fine). Add 1 tablespoon butter. Turn heat on stove to medium-high heat. Start stirring the eggs with a rubber spatula (not a whisk). - 3-MINUTE COOK: In about a minute, while stirring continuously, the eggs will start forming curls. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan as you go. Remove pan from heat for 10 seconds. Keep stirring. Place pan back on heat for 30 seconds. Keep stirring. Repeat – off heat 10 seconds, on heat 30 seconds – until eggs are almost cooked. Cook for a total of 3 minutes or a few extra seconds if you like your eggs more done. Don't overcook. (You may need a bit less time with fewer eggs and more time with more eggs). Remove pan from heat. Eggs will still look slightly wet, but they will finish cooking in the pan off the heat. - FINISH: Add chives, sour cream (if using) and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Slide eggs onto toast if you like and serve. Garnish with extra chives. ### Recipe Notes 1. Substitute for chives: finely chopped green onions or fresh herbs like dill, tarragon, parsley or thyme. 2. Garnish and sides: - Sauté veggies before you cook the eggs or in a separate pan e.g. diced onions, mushrooms, peppers (jalapeno or sweet). Set them aside and mix them in at the end (or spoon over eggs). - Add in grated gruyère or boursin at the end of cooking. - Other sides: English muffins, thick slice of sourdough bread, bacon, sausage, ham, pancetta, fresh fruit, berries, yogurt, salsa, cherry tomatoes and avocado slices. - Garnish eggs with extra chives, parsley or freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese, feta, goat cheese, chopped olives, sundried tomatoes, chili crisp or chili flakes (for heat). 3. Ingredients for different serving sizes: - 2 eggs – 1 teaspoon butter – 1 teaspoon sour cream – 2 teaspoons chives – 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or less (for one person) - 4 eggs – 2 teaspoons butter – 2 teaspoons sour cream – 4 teaspoons chives – 1/2 teaspoon salt or less (for 2 people). 4.

I just came across your page while looking for Gordon Ramsay’s recipe. I like how you note how to adapt it for 1 or 2 servings as well. Have you tried to make it in larger amounts, for instance, for a group of 8 or 10 servings? Would the ratios/outcome be the same or would you suggest doing it as multiple smaller batches? Thank you\!

I would make the eggs all together if you have a larger nonstick skillet. It will take a little longer, depending on the size of the pan, but just keep going back and forth on and off the heat until you get the consistency you like. Have everything ready by the stove. Good luck\! [Reply](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/gordon-ramsey-scrambled-eggs-foolproof/#comment-8356) 5.

Set them aside and mix them in at the very end. - Incorporate cheese at the end of cooking, such as gruyère or boursin. - Garnish with extra chives, other fresh herbs, olives, sundried tomatoes, chopped pitted olives, crumbled feta or goat cheese, or some freshly grated Parmesan cheese or shavings. ## Step-by-step technique ## Tips 1. Stir, don’t whisk the eggs. 2. For smaller batches with only 2-3 eggs, you will need a little less cooking time unless your pan is quite small. 3. Season at the END, not while cooking. This prevents watery eggs. 4. For extra creaminess (optional), add a little bit of sour cream, yogurt or cold butter as a final step. The coolness also helps stop the cooking process and prevent overcooked eggs. ## What to serve with scrambled eggs Eggs go with almost anything. Chef Gordon Ramsay serves his creamy scrambled eggs on a thick piece of sourdough bread. I prefer a toasted buttered [English muffin](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/homemade-english-muffins-easy-step-by-step/). You can also spoon them into a warm tortilla with salsa, or finish them with a drizzle of fresh [pesto](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/classic-basil-pesto/). For a fully plate, Ramsay often sautés whole mushrooms and vine tomatoes in a separate pan. Here are some other simple sides if you want a complete meal: - Bacon, ham or sausage - Fresh cut-up fruit or berries - [Homemade Montreal bagels](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/montreal-bagel-recipe/) (the best!) - Sliced or cherry tomatoes and avocado slices - [Lox and bagels](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/lox-and-bagels/) - A bowl of yogurt with fruit - A bowl of [instant pot oatmeal](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/instant-pot-oatmeal-recipe/) with fruit - [Moist banana bread](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/super-moist-banana-bread-with-a-spoon/) or [banana blueberry muffins](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/banana-muffins-with-blueberries-moist-and-fluffy/) ## Recipe FAQs Which eggs are healthiest to buy? According to [Food and Nutrition](https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/8ku39lwxlgsoh4vlxghk/9qhzhdug0680kxbz/aHR0cHM6Ly9mb29kYW5kbnV0cml0aW9uLm9yZy9ibG9ncy9zdG9uZS1zb3VwL3R5cGUtZWdncy1idXkv), conventional eggs are perfectly fine. If you don’t eat fish or plant sources like flax or chia seeds, then Omega-3-enriched eggs might be a healthier choice. Are brown eggs better than white eggs? Brown and white eggs are identical except for their color. All eggs are nutritionally similar, regardless of their size, grade, or color, according to Healthline. Should I add milk or cream to scrambled eggs? Not for this style. The creaminess comes from constant stirring on and off the heat. If you want richer eggs, stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche, sour cream or yogurt off the heat at the very end. Why do scrambled eggs get watery or rubbery? Usually, the heat’s too high or the eggs are cooked a bit too long. Remove them from the pan while they’re still soft and on the looser side – residual heat finishes the job. How many eggs do I need per person for scrambled eggs? The standard portion is 2 eggs per person. Or 3 for larger appetites. What is the best pan to use for scrambled eggs? A non-stick skillet works best. Pair it with a silicone spatula that helps you sweep the bottom of the pan for a soft, custardy texture. ![scrambled eggs on English muffin on plate.](https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/scrambled-eggs-gordon-ramsey-7.jpg) *Please leave a 5 star rating \\\\\ with a comment in the recipe card below if you like the recipe, Thank you so much\!** Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs are creamy, silky, custardy and perfectly cooked in just a few minutes – every time.

Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan as you go. Remove pan from heat for 10 seconds. Keep stirring. Place pan back on heat for 30 seconds. Keep stirring. Repeat – off heat 10 seconds, on heat 30 seconds – until eggs are almost cooked. Cook for a total of 3 minutes or a few extra seconds if you like your eggs more done. Don't overcook. (You may need a bit less time with fewer eggs and more time with more eggs). Remove pan from heat. Eggs will still look slightly wet, but they will finish cooking in the pan off the heat. - FINISH: Add chives, sour cream (if using) and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Slide eggs onto toast if you like and serve. Garnish with extra chives. 1. Substitute for chives: finely chopped green onions or fresh herbs like dill, tarragon, parsley or thyme. 2. Garnish and sides: - Sauté veggies before you cook the eggs or in a separate pan e.g. diced onions, mushrooms, peppers (jalapeno or sweet). Set them aside and mix them in at the end (or spoon over eggs). - Add in grated gruyère or boursin at the end of cooking. - Other sides: English muffins, thick slice of sourdough bread, bacon, sausage, ham, pancetta, fresh fruit, berries, yogurt, salsa, cherry tomatoes and avocado slices. - Garnish eggs with extra chives, parsley or freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese, feta, goat cheese, chopped olives, sundried tomatoes, chili crisp or chili flakes (for heat). 3.
