Scrambled Eggs on Toast

August 29, 2013 by Maureen 67 Comments

We had a lovely day today and it started out with a delightful breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast.  I can hear you asking if this is orgasmic and yes, yes it is.

I used to make scrambled eggs the way most people make scrambled eggs.  I cracked them into a bowl, whisked them up and added a bit of salt and pepper and a splash of water and into a frying pan.

Then Gordon Ramsay came into my life.  Videoly speaking, he came into my life.

 As I watched his video I thought, “this is nuts and it’s different from everything I’ve ever heard.”  He doesn’t use a frying pan.  He doesn’t whisk the eggs first.  He doesn’t add salt and pepper first.  My head was hurting and I couldn’t wait to give this a try.

The next morning I got up, trudged to the kitchen and said, “Would you like some scrambled eggs?  I’m going to try something different.”

“No, thanks, can I have a fried egg?”

I made his egg and went to make my scrambled eggs.  I did it just the way Gordon did in his video and Oh My!  I added the butter and eggs and stirred until nearly cooked and then added salt, pepper, sour cream and chopped fresh chives.  I was in  heaven.

How to make scrambled eggs

“These are wonderful, would you like a bite?”

“Nah, I’m right.” (Australian for no thanks)

“You’re missing something wonderful!”

Fast forward several months to today and John slept in.  I got up and made scrambled eggs on toast – crappy bread, I know – it was in the freezer.  I had watermelon, rock melon and strawberries topped with strawberry yogurt and fresh squeezed orange juice and the most wonderful scrambled eggs.  John came in and I put the plate in front of him as if I didn’t know he didn’t like scrambled eggs.

Remember the commercial that went, “Mikey Likes Them!” ?  Well, that was John.

“These eggs are really good.”

So I know this isn’t a fantastic recipe but if you like scrambled eggs, give this method a try.  You might not like it better but I do.  The eggs come out creamy and delicious.  I’ve tried adding cream at the end and other herbs but sour cream and chives are my favorite add-ins.

Scrambled Eggs on Toast

Now some personal news.  Today we met one of John’s cousins who we recently discovered lives about 15 minutes from us.  Her dad was John’s dad’s younger brother.  He died of cancer when he was quite young and Rob gave Liz away at her wedding.

We’re sitting there at the cafe talking about family memories and I asked Liz her her husband about their children – they have 3 daughters.  One is a music teacher in Perth, one is a homemaker with a little baby in Brisbane AND… wait for it…

One is an executive with Qantas who as we spoke was in Denmark with Chef Neil Perry to attend the MAD Symposium – the annual gathering of top chefs from around the world.  This year the symposium is on guts.  I’m filled with envy. (not about guts but about being around all that culinary talent)  I hope to catch up with her next time she comes up to visit her mum and dad.

    It really does look like the perfectly scrambled egg! I started making scrambled eggs in a bain marie and it make it very creamy without butter or creme fraiche but I can tell how worth it the two additions would be for sure!

    I went to a cooking class given by a Michelin chef and the starter were eggs cooked in this fashion. They were cooked very soft and placed in opened egg shells for serving.

    Dear Maureen, Breakfast is one of my favorite meals ( of course I love to eat, therefore I guess all of my meals of on my favorite list). I just love food~ I even like food shopping!!
    But eggs, they hold a special place in my heart. My dad used to make scrambled eggs on Sunday mornings and they were the best. I understand getting excited about a delicious plate of scrambled eggs and don’t forget the coffee.
    Blessings dearest and a hug, Catherine xo

    It’s a small world finding a fellow foodie in the family, even if it’s a bit distant relationship.

    I love most ways of preparing eggs though over easy so I can dip bread into the yolks is still my favourite, but scrambled eggs is my 2nd choice. I’ll have to give this a try … I even have some creme fraiche lingering in my fridge to add to them at the end. My saucepan isn’t non-stick but I figure if I melt the butter first and coat the inside of the pan, it will do the job. 🙂

          I thawed and cooked an entire package of bacon just so I could make a filling for a batch of chicken and bacon ravioli. I finished up the bacon in this dish, including another 5 or 6 pieces that weren’t in the picture. Hopefully I won’t buy or cook any bacon for another month or two. 🙂

          The ravioli were tasty.

    Scrambled eggs hold a special place in my heart too, Maureen. My father use to make us scrambled eggs on Sunday mornings. The only difference I remember is that he always, and I mean always, grated a tiny bit of parmesan cheese in at the very last minute before serving. Oh the aroma!

    Thank you so much for sharing…

    I know this method! And use it pretty often if I’m cooking for just one or two (when I’m cooking for a crowd I do it the way it’s more often done in the US). But I always whisk my eggs before adding them to the hot butter – I’ll have to start whisking them in the pan. Love that idea. There’s another method I know that takes more like half an hour on extremely low heat – impractical, most of the time, and really excellent. But at best just a tad better than this way. Great to hear to found a long lost cousin!

      I don’t think we’ve been doing it wrong, Claire. I think his method results in really creamy eggs and with the addition of cream or sour cream or creme fraiche, it knocks it up just a tad. Now if I were rich and had truffles to shave on top, then I’d be in heaven.

    Those are the sexist morning eggs I’ve ever seen.

    It’s funny because I kind of forgot that Gordon Ramsey actually cooked due to the rep he got from Hell’s Kitchen. lol

    Nevertheless, I’m kinda obsessed now…and I really want to make these this weekend. Who knew to stir the eggs in a pot, not the pan? Dare I say, genius?!!?! Yes, I’m totally excited about this now ^_^

    Thanks for stopping by Maureen…so good to hear from you.

    Since I make the other 20 meals during the week, my husband prepares breakfast on Saturdays. It’s a whole production with music, bacon, a second pot of coffee — the works. The standard is scrambled eggs with green chile, dusted with parmesan. It is heaven. He makes the best, creamy scrambled eggs, far better than any I’ve made. He finally admitted he’d been watching videos and looking at ways to make the perfect scrambled eggs on-line. I don’t know if he saw this one, but his technique is similar. It is heavenly. 🙂
