    Getting the best results

    Chef Bill Granger says, always use a non-stick pan with a wooden spoon for best results and easy cleaning. Don't over-stir - think of theseas folded eggs rather than scrambled. The eggs should have the texture of soft curds. It's best not to cook more than three portions in one go as you will overcrowd the pan and the eggs won't cook as well. For larger numbers, cook in two pans rather than one.

Method

  1. Lightly whisk the eggs, cream and a pinch of salt together until all the ingredients are just combined and the mixture has one consistency.
  2. Heat a small non-stick frying pan for a minute or so, then add the butter and let it melt. Don’t allow the butter to brown or it will discolour the eggs. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit, without stirring, for 20 seconds. Stir with a wooden spoon, lifting and folding it over from the bottom of the pan. Let it sit for another 10 seconds then stir and fold again.
  3. Repeat until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, then remove from the heat and leave for a few seconds to finish cooking. Give a final stir and serve the velvety scramble without delay.

Treated myself by adding 60g smoked salmon trimmings. Leave out any extra salt but otherwise do exactly as recipe. Delicious.

I had forgotten how the most simple foods are most definitely the nicest to eat!
This was really yummy and easy to make. I used semi-skimmed milk instead of cream, but it was still really lovely and just the type of comfort food you need on a cold morning!

First time I've cooked scrambled egg and it came out perfect. Served it on top of a slice of fried bread.

Really creamy, delicious! Works well with some feta thrown in near the end so it softens but doesn't melt entirely.

I made this for myself, delicious recipe.
Creamy scrambled eggs is what it says and came out as. I have to say though it did not take me 15 mins. It took me about 5 mins altogether.

Easy and in only a couple of minutes quality scrabbled eggs. I've also tried adding mixed spice as seasoning and works well as doed black pepper.
