I don't beat mine too much , they stay together better on a plate or a sandwich.

I don't whip beforehand and I've seen people advise against that many times (including Ramsay).

I heat the pan first, which is probably a mistake.

I salt/pepper about halfway through, toss in a little cheese and pull them off.

I don't stir much either.

I'm sure Ramsay's method tastes great, but they look kind of gross.

I like to beat the eggs, add a little sour cream when you do (if not milk or water), add Tony's.

Scramble in pan with a little butter.

I cooked him his style (didn't have chives or cream, though), and they turned out fantastic.

So I guess I'm a convert.

Try them with the creme fraiche or sour cream and you'll really be a convert.

For those who like firmer eggs, you can still use Ramsey's version and just cook them until they're a bit firmer.

Eggs, whole milk, parsley, scallions, salt and pepper

Beat eggs vigorously for at least a couple full minutes.

Put butter in pan. Cook eggs on LOW.. Continuously folding.

I sprinkle a little cheese if I'm in the mood.

Don't let them overcooked into dryness. I like them a tad still runny. Not too much. Just a little.

I really dont see why people add water or milk. If you cook them properly it isnt necessary

The salmon croissant dish looks oh so good.

I will never beat the hell out of my eggs before cooking them like I used to do, again. These are far superior to any of the scrambled egg tricks I've tried.

What temp do you cook them at?


Only issue I had was the burner on too low and I was just stirring and stirring and stirring and they weren't really cooking.

I sort of play with the fire until I get it where I want it. Not too too low, but not on medium. You do have to stir a good bit. I get a feel of the temp as I go along. Not a good answer, I know.

Well, that makes me feel better, because I was oscillating between low and medium, because I didn't want to overcook them, but it seemed to be taking me longer than it did him in his videos.

After you make them a few times, you get a feel for the temp. Sort of like making a roux. I have a feel for the temp for that, also, though I tend to go high on that.

Oddly enough, I started cooking mine Ramsey's way about 2 weeks before this thread started. I won't be cooking them any other way.

I cook mine on a much higher heat than y'all evidently. I'm slightly past medium heat.

there is never a bad time to try something new in cooking, never.

I'll give that a go. It seemed to work better for me near medium, I just didn't want to overcook, so I kept turning them down.
