The Art of Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs might seem simple, but achieving that perfect creamy, custardy texture requires technique and patience. Today, we'll explore the French method that transforms ordinary eggs into a luxurious breakfast experience.

The Secret: Low and Slow

The key to French-style scrambled eggs is cooking them over very low heat while stirring constantly. This method creates small, creamy curds rather than large, dry chunks.

Essential Tips:

1. Use fresh eggs - The fresher the eggs, the better the flavor and texture
2. Add cold butter - This helps control the temperature and adds richness
3. Constant stirring - Use a silicone spatula and never stop moving the eggs
4. Remove from heat early - The eggs will continue cooking from residual heat

The Perfect Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon cold butter
• Salt and white pepper to taste
• Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions:

1. Crack eggs into a cold saucepan
2. Add butter and place over medium-low heat
3. Stir constantly with a spatula, scraping the bottom
4. When eggs begin to thicken, reduce heat to low
5. Continue stirring until eggs are just set but still creamy
6. Remove from heat while slightly underdone
7. Season and serve immediately

The result? Eggs so creamy they're almost sauce-like, with a texture that melts in your mouth.
