Ingredients
- 4 piece organic pasture-raised eggs (for either method)
- 20 g organic butter (1 tbsp to cook, 1 tsp cold to finish)
- 1 tbsp organic crème fraîche or double cream
- 1 pinch fine sea salt, white or black pepper
- 1 tbsp organic chives, chopped
- 60 g organic baby spinach or rocket, to serve
- 0.5 piece organic avocado, sliced, to serve
Step-by-step method
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until just combined, with no need to over-whip.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over low heat. The pan should never sizzle.
- Pour in the eggs and stir slowly and constantly with a silicone spatula, sweeping the bottom and sides.
- Keep stirring for 3–4 minutes. When the eggs look just-set but still glossy and loose, take the pan off the heat: they keep cooking from residual heat.
- Finish by stirring in the cold butter and crème fraîche to stop the cooking and make them creamy.
- Plate on the greens with avocado, chives and flaky salt.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil.
- Lower in the eggs straight from the fridge, using a spoon. Start a timer for 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water.
- At 7 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Peel by cracking all over and rolling gently under your palm, peeling under a thin trickle of water.
- Halve and serve on the dressed greens with salt, olive oil and lemon.
Chef’s tips
- Low and slow is the secret to soft scrambled eggs; rushed heat makes them rubbery.
- Salt the eggs before cooking to give a more tender curd.
- For jammy eggs: 6 min = very runny, 7 min = jammy, 8 min = soft-set, 10 min = fully set.
- Older eggs peel more easily than very fresh ones.
Variations
- Smoked salmon & dill soft-scramble, served on cucumber ribbons.
- Herb & cheese: fold in Gruyère or goat cheese.
- Mushroom & thyme: top with garlic mushrooms sautéed in butter.
- Jammy egg salad: chop and mix with mayonnaise, mustard, chives and celery.
- Avocado-chilli jammy eggs: top with smashed avocado, lime and chilli flakes.
Storage
