Fluff

It's interesting; I've made scrambled eggs my whole life and never done it the way my good pal Chef Gordon Ramsay makes 'em. Chef Ramsay is a recurring piece of my journey towards #chefextraordinaire, if you couldn't tell. 

But anyway, scrambled eggs are the meal everybody knows how to make from the time they're young. It's like learning to tie your shoes: just a few attempts and soon you can do it blindfolded. What I had always done was crack a few eggs in a bowl, whisk, then dump it in a hot pan with butter, mix, and, voilà. In a flash you've got a savory and healthy meal. 

Then again, we've all had our experiences with scrambled eggs. Everyone makes them differently. One thing can be agreed upon, though: from the countless diners, IHOPs, and home kitchens we've eaten them in, they hit the spot.

In my many years of casually enjoying scrambled eggs, I've never seen them cooked the way Chef Ramsay makes them. Cooking, and eating, these scrambled eggs was unlike anything I'd ever experienced in this realm. 

I learned how to make them through Chef Ramsay's Youtube Channel; his personal video blog of cooking. In the video, Chef Ramsay literally says if a chef can make a good scrambled egg, he's probably a good chef. 

It's amazing, really. If you watched the video, the guy is amazing. There is such care and pizzazz in his flawless cooking technique, and his smooth delivery of those techniques, which creates an exquisite viewing experience for the learning chef. 

Anyway, to make the eggs like Chef Ramsay does, you simply have to do the same things he does. Like taking the pot off the heat, continually mixing, and seasoning at the right time; it all matters. If you want your scrambled eggs to come out "perfect," you need a full and effective cooking technique. 

I'm not going to get into how I cooked it, because, as you may have guessed, I did it exactly how Chef Ramsay did. I even went to Whole Foods and bought an overly expensive jar of crème fraîche for the tbsp. that I'd use. The manager at Stop & Shop didn't know what crème fraîche was (lol). I followed every detail to a tee. 

In the end, I cooked what was probably my favorite variant of scrambled eggs. It was creamy, rich and fluffy like a pillow. And it was all because of good ol' Chef Ramsay. I hope you try this one day, too; I promise you'll like it!
