Perfect Scrambled Eggs
The notion of perfect scrambled eggs is purely subjective. The simplest of egg dishes, scrambled eggs can make even the established home cook coil in horror.
For such a straight forward dish the taste and texture can vary considerably, from being burnt, too watery, too leathery, too rich, or simply lacking in flavour. Scrambled Eggs can be a hit and miss affair.
On a cold winter morning, many, many years ago on a film set, a caterer gave me the insight into making the perfect scrambled egg. I have taken this wonderful knowledge and have been able to recreate time and time again.
Technique is certainly one of the key elements in crafting a perfectly constructed dish of scrambled eggs.
Folding the eggs over a low heat instead of the all too common mistake of scrambling over a high heat will get you half way to egg perfection. The other little secret is
cream.
Adding a couple of teaspoons of cream will produce the most fluffy, soft and ever so slightly moist scrambled eggs you have ever tasted – comparable to what you would find in a quality restaurant.
