"The french take it nice and slow...result are these really delicate curds bound in this buttery velvety sauce" *Gets Excited* "But we found a way to do it without the butter" *Excitement subsides*
Was fortunate to visit Italy last year and this is how the eggs were cooked at our hotel. I thought they looked undercooked and disgusting, like many commenters here, until I actually tried them... They are delicious and have a very different texture than I grew up eating. It is my favorite way to eat scrambled eggs now, I just don't usually have the patience to make them... Before dismissing them, try them... You may be surprised!
My mother started me on eggs like this at a very early age. Been always ordering them "soft" "loose" or "creamy" and everyone always looked at me like I was crazy. It's the BEST way to eat eggs for sure.
Grew up on a lifetime of overcooked, rubbery scrambled eggs, and I always thought French scrambled eggs were too rich and creamy and weird. But this recipe is great! Favorite way to cook eggs now.
I was taught to scramble the eggs in a cold pan as the med heat was turned on[+ a dash of milk]. Then fold continuously for 8 to 12 minutes or until the eggs stop 'relaxing'. Add a dash of milk and salt/pepper stir easy...... plate and enjoy. I been making this french style eggs for 45 years. It reminds me of a large heaping of medium poached scrambled eggs.
So much better than the large curd egg-steak style. I get that some people don't like this texture but I love it and it's certainly not undercooked, they are safe to eat. I do add some salted butter at the end but I these are so much better than the dry, stiff style of scrambled.
This recipe works, the texture is like the softest custard and the flavor is buttery, almost cheesy, but somehow more eggy than any other preparation. For me, I get 95% of the benefit in about 4 minutes by starting the eggs just as the butter melts and stirring constantly until they have that creamy texture. The first minute nothing seems to happen, the second minute they change color, the third minute you'll start scraping curds from the bottom. Note that when you raise the egg temperature gently while stirring, you don't have to panic about dumping them out when they're exactly underdone like a regular scramble; find the texture in the pan, stir it around once more to make sure and they're just as perfect. Finally, this is the basis of my French omelette. Once the eggs are perfect, spread them evenly in the pan, give them a few seconds on the heat to set the skin and then roll them up.
I did see several videos of French chefs cooking in about four minutes, but they add dairy such as you do.Including Jacques Pepin. However, I did enjoy the technique in this video.
Yo people, these are not undercooked. It is essentially overcooked custard base. And custard is definitely cooked enough to serve to kids and even babies. Temperature defines doneness, not texture. 🙄
Not all scrambled eggs are rubbery. Y’all’s poor childhoods smh. But yes, texture is key when it comes to different recipes. Most with big families are used to trying all sorts of recipes. I remember my great grandmother used to demand dark brown toast with soft creamy eggs and would have us make it again if it wasn’t done how she liked😂 as soon as her plate was done I’d make a simple frittata and baked French toast (I liked my French toast more cooked through)
nah, because when you can't tell if it's done, you're not gonna use a 30 minute read meat thermometer, you're going to use an instant read meat thermometer, so you can see how done the meat is, based on its temperature. That's the reason why you pull eggs out of the pan before they're actually done because that "temperature" is still technically cooking the food.
Yep these are just runny scrambled eggs. The butter is what makes a french scrambled egg a french scrambled egg. The butter imparts an extra rich flavor, and, I'm sorry no matter how much you repeat "look how CREEAAMY!!" those eggs were NOT creamy. They looked watery because they were watery...
As a child my Memére made me peanut butter and butter sandwiches. And I do not mean soft serve pansy butter. I mean a smear of peanut butter on one slice of bread and hunks of butter half an inch thick slapped on the other piece of bread. And she made everything with brown sauce. And everything else with a roux.
Just want to mention jacques pepin also does scrambled eggs somewhat like this, but he does use butter and cream, and there's nothing wrong with butter and cream in these eggs. Find him making "classic scrambled eggs". And I think our taste buds expect butter and cream in this morning breakfast.
YES! Jacques Pepin is my go-to anyway, so I wasn't surprised at cream and butter. This is what was taught to us in culinary school, the French standard.
I first had this style of scrambled eggs at the Château Frontenac in Quebec City in the early 90's. I came up with my own version using a double boiler, LOTS of butter and constant stirring. This resulted in a much thicker, creamier version of what you've created here -- like a loose custard. I'm definitely going to give this a try as a lower-fat option. Thanks!
@@AlphaOmeg-y3h Well aren't you just the SWEETEST! I bet yo' mama just LOVES you! Listen up, Honeybun ... What I LOOK like ain't got nothing to do with a stinkin' VACCINE! And yes, I'm a bit on the chubby side, but I'm doing lo-carb and the pounds ARE coming off ... (WITH the BUTTER, thank you!) Now ... quit being so mean and be nice. :)
Been eating eggs this way for a while. Very tasty. You should be pulling pan off the heat every 30-45 seconds for 15 seconds stirring all the time. Last, butter is your friend.
There's a hotel in London that calls these, Luxury Eggs. I just tried this. I followed exact technique. Served with seared cherry tomatoes and knob of goat cheese. Delicious. Love the texture.
Right smh. And water... really? Just to get the more soupy “creamy” texture. Hell nah. Do it the traditional way if that’s what you’re gonna title it smh
It is not the devil, it is not required. Neither is Peanut Butter or Ketchup or Aspagagus. Come to think of it neither is cheese or rice or frozen peas. Just Eggs and heat.
I’ve made this in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and it was great. A little faster though. You really do have to keep stirring and keep the heat LOW. Don’t leave them!
Many non-stick pans nowadays, including the one they're using here, are made with "metal safe" coatings. You wouldn't want to dig into them with a metal utensil, but lightly skimming one across the surface won't hurt anything.
@@seikibrian8641 also Test Kitchen likes T-Fal because they perform very well and are relatively cheap. So you can just get a new one when it gets a little too scratched.
If the spoon hitting the non-stick pan made you twitch, then you should probably avoid Jacques Pepin videos (for example: th-cam.com/video/_Wb5Crj917I/w-d-xo.html ). I'm not sure he has any non-metal utensils. 😃
I guess I don't quite understand the need for this. I love this style of eggs, add a bit of cream and salt to the eggs, cook with a tablespoon of butter over a medium-low heat stirring constantly (that's the key). Pull it off as soon as they turn that beautiful dark yellow. Mix in some chives, serve over buttered toast. I love a good sourdough. The flavor contrasts well with the creaminess. Done in half the time with what I assume is the same result. Maybe I'm speaking out of ignorance and it's not the same result but they look the same.
Those eggs look great and I have to try scrambling some that way and see if they turn out this good. They remind me of the ones my step-mother use to make when I was a teen in Michigan.
Thank you. These are delicious!!!. I did add the butter. I'll have to get green onions for the next time. I like them better this way and believe these are easier to digest.
I just made this for the first time, I definitely did it the non-traditional way but damn were they delicious. Only used two eggs, which I cracked and whipped directly into a very small sauce pan. Then I put it on the lowest heat, and stirred it every few minutes for about 8 minutes. Came out super creamy. Didn’t add any water. Just some salt. Poured it over some challah bread with cream cheese and butter, plus a dash of pepper….. scrumptious! 👌
During the first four minutes you should not have curds till towards the end and you can make temperature adjustments accordingly. By second four minute increment you should be forming small curds and you can adjust your temperature accordingly if need be by the size of the curds forming or lack thereof. Last four minutes same.
@@doktarr, it is at the 4 minute increments that you should see something occurring. You could set it for twelve or 15 or 3 minutes, it is the 4 minute approximation that you can gauge it by.
Julia Child once did a French version of scrambled eggs that were made in a bain marie. Took forever but they looked very much like these. And, according to her anyway, that was the way they were sometimes done in France.
I love you guy's shows so much!!! What a great, versatile idea to make the French scrambled eggs--almost like an egg pudding, and a dip ---really fun!! Would be so fun for a "breakfast for dinner" dinner, too. :)
I love soft eggs, but I've never seen them this soft! I thought the commenters must be exaggerating, but this doesn't look that appealing to me. I'd go a bit longer.
....Salt in uncooked eggs does tend to toughen the eggs. Try without much better. For those who can't spend 15 minutes stirring, I use a Bain Marie. 15 mins still but 3-4 quick stirs on the way through. The tiny lump of butter adds to the flavour...
HO MAI I Bet they come out 5 times Faster than they went Down .......Warning ...Be Careful ...Do not Sneeze or Cough after Eating LOL...... I'M GOING TO TRY THIS IN THE MORNING THANKS GREAT VIDEO
It's said we eat more with our eyes. So many will take one look at these and say "yuk too raw no thanks". People you have to taste them also because they're delicious.
For the people complaining about undercooked eggs, 160 degrees is same temp as well done steak. It’s also the USDA temp for fully cooked eggs where bacteria that cause foodborne illness are killed. They’re not undercooked, just a different texture. You may personally not like it, but it’s totally safe to eat. Just google “USDA temps”.
The point of the cream and butter is to essentially emulsify the egg curds as they come up to temp, which creates a smooth and creamy dish. This looks like a soup, no thanks.
I'm sure people who like runny yolks and soft poached eggs think these are cooked enough but as someone who has to eat hard yolks, I can't do these eggs. 😬
Todd Ellner 160 degrees is basically the same as a steak very well done. Look up USDA safe temps. Eggs are thoroughly cooked with bacteria killed at 160, so they’re definitely not raw/undercooked, just a different texture.
I lost 40 lbs. By eating more eggs and I make them with butter. I read the book Eat Fat get Thin. It is the carbs and sugar that make you gain weight not fat!
@@joycej9415 i know, I was trying to be funny. I dropped 35 pounds by cutting out Soda and limiting Alcohal to one a week. I would have dropped more but my MS has me about as sedatary as a fallen log.
I'm sorry. I'd consider myself to be as kicked back as they come. But anyone substituting butter with water can not hang with me. That's up with with hurting puppies
Isn’t this what the English call coddled eggs - usually fixed for young children? I like to use real butter and put the scrambled eggs and I use half and half in when I start to smell the butter get nutty. I like fluffy eggs and I want them tender but cooked and the curd well formed. Before they firm I put in Swiss cheese and one more stir. And put the top on off heat. Cook my toast and butter alternative is to cook onions and green peppers and Jimmy Dean Turkey sausage in butter and set aside. Wipe and wash the pan then the butter to brown and once they begin to firm up well, almost done all nice and fluffy I put the Turkey sausage, peppers, onions on top, put the Swiss cheese on, lid on top and into the preheated 375F oven. Turn oven off, fix toast and when I take them out, the cheese is melted all bubbly and scoop up. I like to cut up ripe strawberries with a little sugar the night before. Then in the morning add fresh kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe, and/or watermelon and fresh wild blackberries mix in with the strawberries dine the night before. I only use ripest fruit whether peaches or blackberries, etc. it’s not important that you have large numbers of different fruit but that it’s fresh and lusciously ripe. If you have the grill up the night before especially with hardwood charcoal so you pick up a little smoky- you can grill ripe peach halves, and pineapple slices. You can put green pears out for a few days and let them ripen to juicy sweet yellow and grill them in halves too. Again - try to stay away from shipped in fruit in the grocery. You want local that just drips down your chin with juice.
With no butter, you're missing out on the butter flavour, even if they are creamy... Adding butter would make them even better. Sometimes changing a recipe just because you can, isn't a good thing. Why mess with something that already works?
It’s funny..... I got kicked off the Instant Pot Forum when I suggested cases where Le Crouset is better! Thank you for the French Methods - slow, patient. I love to follow the Thomas Keller approach to caramelizing onions simp,youth - take your time!
I'd have the heat up at medium at first with constant stirring until I start seeing curds form at which point I would drop the heat right down to the minimum and break up the curds to cut down on the cooking time. Also you've gotta add a bit of cheese to scrambled eggs along with some seasoning.
The French style uses butter. You don't salt the eggs until are nearly done cooking because it will draw water out if the eggs. Then you add a little heavy cream eggs to prevent over cooking. This is an inaccurate representation.
I’ve been to France loads of time and had scrambled eggs and omelettes ,never have I ever had them without butter or cream and there like velvet and very tasty I think this chef should take a trip to France for a working holiday 😂🏴🇫🇷
You guys need to think you should use a spoon that will smush the curves more easier but no hate I have the cook books that you guys had like the complete cookbook and baking book i am in love with them
"The french take it nice and slow...result are these really delicate curds bound in this buttery velvety sauce" *Gets Excited*

For the people complaining about undercooked eggs, 160 degrees is same temp as well done steak. It’s also the USDA temp for fully cooked eggs where bacteria that cause foodborne illness are killed. They’re not undercooked, just a different texture. You may personally not like it, but it’s totally safe to eat. Just google “USDA temps”.

Why not develop a formula for any sized pan while waiting 12-14 minutes? 🙃

@@joycej9415 i know, I was trying to be funny. I dropped 35 pounds by cutting out Soda and limiting Alcohal to one a week. I would have dropped more but my MS has me about as sedatary as a fallen log.
Too wet for me.
Sorry, doesn’t look appetizing 😝 I don’t think scrambled eggs should fall thru a fork ..But I do love your show
Uhhhh, yeah, I like this channel a lot, but ima stick with Jacque Pepin on the French omelette.
But this isn't an omelette. Jacques also makes scrambled eggs (and hard-cooked eggs, and poached eggs, and steamed eggs, and shirred eggs, and...).
This looks good, i've seen chef Jacque Pepin' make these, the best french chef on you tube, he also can make 2 styles of omelets with this recipe.
Is there a difference if we use room temperature eggs or from the fridge?
i'm totally doing this this week!
You lost me when you said you were replacing the butter with water! Also serve with watered toast.
No thank you.
I'll stick to the Butter.
Butter makes it Better
Only if you overcook your eggs. Eggs cooked this way are cheesy, dare I say.
Gordon Ramsey would not approve. We love his scrambled eggs. Needs butter.
Is it a re-upload? I've seen this video on this channel already like 1-1.5 months ago
They chop up the full episodes into individual segments and upload them. Drives me crazy cause I'm thinking the same thing.
I'm sorry. I'd consider myself to be as kicked back as they come. But anyone substituting butter with water can not hang with me. That's up with with hurting puppies
No butter? This is a crime
Without all the butter??? But we want all the butter! 😧
I haven’t tasted them like this but I think I would like them cooked may be 50% more.
They're already 100% cooked (having come up to 165°). Cooking any longer would just dry them out.
“You can’t make French eggs without butter that’s just stupid” - Gordon Ramsay probably
I think I'll stick with Gordon Ramsay's method. Quick and easy.
I like Gordon's recipe, too. That tablespoon of sour cream at the end makes the entire dish.
Isn’t this what the English call coddled eggs - usually fixed for young children?
I like to use real butter and put the scrambled eggs and I use half and half in when I start to smell the butter get nutty. I like fluffy eggs and I want them tender but cooked and the curd well formed. Before they firm I put in Swiss cheese and one more stir. And put the top on off heat. Cook my toast and butter alternative is to cook onions and green peppers and Jimmy Dean Turkey sausage in butter and set aside. Wipe and wash the pan then the butter to brown and once they begin to firm up well, almost done all nice and fluffy I put the Turkey sausage, peppers, onions on top, put the Swiss cheese on, lid on top and into the preheated 375F oven. Turn oven off, fix toast and when I take them out, the cheese is melted all bubbly and scoop up. I like to cut up ripe strawberries with a little sugar the night before. Then in the morning add fresh kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe, and/or watermelon and fresh wild blackberries mix in with the strawberries dine the night before. I only use ripest fruit whether peaches or blackberries, etc. it’s not important that you have large numbers of different fruit but that it’s fresh and lusciously ripe. If you have the grill up the night before especially with hardwood charcoal so you pick up a little smoky- you can grill ripe peach halves, and pineapple slices. You can put green pears out for a few days and let them ripen to juicy sweet yellow and grill them in halves too. Again - try to stay away from shipped in fruit in the grocery. You want local that just drips down your chin with juice.
With no butter, you're missing out on the butter flavour, even if they are creamy... Adding butter would make them even better. Sometimes changing a recipe just because you can, isn't a good thing. Why mess with something that already works?
Love your recipes. Thanks
It’s funny..... I got kicked off the Instant Pot Forum when I suggested cases where Le Crouset is better! Thank you for the French Methods - slow, patient. I love to follow the Thomas Keller approach to caramelizing onions simp,youth - take your time!
I'd have the heat up at medium at first with constant stirring until I start seeing curds form at which point I would drop the heat right down to the minimum and break up the curds to cut down on the cooking time. Also you've gotta add a bit of cheese to scrambled eggs along with some seasoning.
That ending was surprising
The French style uses butter. You don't salt the eggs until are nearly done cooking because it will draw water out if the eggs. Then you add a little heavy cream eggs to prevent over cooking. This is an inaccurate representation.
It looks good .I may this recipe .
Another thing you might try is checking your sentence before you post it.
No! This is like cornflakes with water or a semi-semi-skimmed milk. There's nothing wrong with 'fats'; it's the sugars that are the problem.
I’ve been to France loads of time and had scrambled eggs and omelettes ,never have I ever had them without butter or cream and there like velvet and very tasty I think this chef should take a trip to France for a working holiday 😂🏴🇫🇷
You guys need to think you should use a spoon that will smush the curves more easier but no hate I have the cook books that you guys had like the complete cookbook and baking book i am in love with them
TLDR: MOAR BUTTER!
Those Moars make some great butter!
Soft scrambled eggs are the best
