Anytime Gordon Ramsay tells us to do something, our typical response has always been, “Yes, Chef!” (It’s how we learned these five cooking lessons from Gordon Ramsay.)
However, we had to pause when we stumbled upon the official Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs recipe. How different could his method and results really be? Could they really be worth the effort and hype (like Gordon’s favorite fast food item)?

Well, throw out everything you think you know about making scrambled eggs because not only does his version allegedly put even Ina Garten’s scrambled egg recipe to shame, it’s actually easier and more forgiving too.
Chef Ramsay’s recipe differs from other scrambled egg recipes in a few key ways. First, according to Gordon, the right type of whisk to use for eggs is no whisk at all. In his recipe, the eggs are not whisked prior to adding them to the skillet. Instead, they are cracked whole into a cold pan with butter and folded together using a rubber spatula only once they are placed over the heat.
Another key difference? Just like on his hit cooking show, Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon isn’t afraid to turn up the heat. Unlike other scrambled egg recipes that call for cooking the eggs over low to medium-low heat, Gordon’s eggs are cooked in alternating intervals on and off a burner set to high heat and stirred constantly.
This method (combined with a tiny dollop of creme fraiche) is said to help prevent the eggs from overcooking and give them an ethereal texture that is both creamy and fluffy.

Let’s see if that’s the case as we put his recipe to the test.
Combine the eggs and butter in a deep saucepan or skillet (try with one of our Test Kitchen’s favorite butter brands).
Editor’s Note: Gordon recommends following a two-to-one egg-to-butter ratio for smaller batches.
Place the pan over high heat and then begin to stir continuously with a rubber or silicone spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan as you work. After 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat and stir for 10 seconds. Return the pan to the burner and repeat this process three to four times; about three minutes total.

During the final stir, season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the creme fraiche and chives.
Plate the eggs and garnish with additional chopped chives. Serve warm with your favorite toast. Enjoy!
If you think all scrambled egg recipes are created equal, these will change your mind with just one bite. Chef Ramsay’s scrambled egg recipe proves that technique matters in even the most basic recipes. His method of slowly cooking the eggs over intervals of high heat gave the eggs a supremely fluffy texture, and the butter combined with the dollop of creme fraiche gave them the perfect amount of indulgent creaminess. This will, hands down, be my new go-to method for preparing fluffy scrambled eggs.
