Instructions
- The key to achieving creamy scrambled eggs lies in the cooking method and ingredients used. Starting with high-quality eggs is essential. Opt for organic or free-range eggs for superior flavor and texture.
- One important rule to remember when working with eggs is to crack them into a bowl before using them in a recipe. By cracking the eggs into a bowl first, you can inspect them for freshness and any unwanted particles before incorporating them into your recipe. So, when you crack the eggs into a bowl, it's essential not to add salt right away. It breaks down egg whites' albumin resulting in a less-than-ideal texture for your dish.
- Next, start heating up pan over low heat and add butter. Once the butter begins to melt, add the eggs and break the yolks with the rubber spatula. Increase the heat to medium. Let it sit for a few seconds to set on the bottom, then stir with a spatula back and forth across the centrer and in a figure-eight motion. Continue to stir the eggs, allowing them to form soft curds. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook slightly off the heat. Remove the eggs from the heat when they are still slightly runny, as they will firm up from the residual heat. To add an extra touch of luxury to your scrambled eggs, add a tablespoon of crème fraiche. Stir that up, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Add chopped chives if desired.
- Mold out brunoise and scrambled eggs using a cake ring or use fancier molds.
- Served immediately with toasted bread – Bon appétit!
