A quick and easy recipe for creamy, buttery scrambled eggs inspired by Gordon Ramsay’s method, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, fresh and at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon double cream or heavy cream
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: finely chopped chives or fresh herbs for garnish
  • Optional: crusty bread or toasted sourdough to serve

Instructions

  1. Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl. Gently whisk with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are just combined—don’t overbeat. This should take about 1 minute.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Let it melt slowly, watching carefully so it doesn’t brown. This takes about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour the eggs into the pan. Immediately start stirring with a rubber spatula—constant movement is key. Stir slowly but continuously, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan.
  4. Keep cooking over low heat, stirring every few seconds. The eggs will start forming soft curds but remain creamy and loose. This process takes around 5-6 minutes. Patience here is your friend; don’t rush with high heat or you’ll get dry eggs.
  5. Every 20-30 seconds, take the pan off the heat but keep stirring. This stops the eggs from overcooking and helps control the texture.
  6. When the eggs are mostly cooked but still a bit runny, remove the pan from heat completely. Stir in 1 tablespoon double cream to add that signature silky texture.
  7. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Give one last gentle stir, then transfer the eggs immediately to a warm plate to stop cooking.

Notes

Keep heat low and stir constantly for creamy texture. Remove pan from heat intermittently to prevent overcooking. Add salt at the end to avoid watery eggs. Use fresh, room temperature eggs and quality butter for best results. Reheat leftovers gently with cream or milk to restore creaminess.
