How to make American Style Eggs

Whisk 3 eggs in a bowl  with seasoning and if you a splash of milk if you like. Melt butter or add oil to a pan. Once hot, add whisked eggs.  Leave undisturbed till they begin to coagulate, and set at the edges. Turn the heat down, then scoop the eggs into the middle of the pan as they set, to create large curds. Use a rubber spatula to swirl and sweep the eggs across the bottom of the pan occasionally as they set. The eggs will be slightly undercooked when removed from heat since the eggs will continue to set. The process is 2 - 3 minutes long.

Scrambled Eggs Serving Suggestions

Serve on their own. Serve on toast - your favourite kind. Served as part of an English breakfast. Serve as part of a breakfast burrito/tacos. Add a sprinkling of cheese. Add some chilli flakes. Stir in some Feta. Stir in some veg towards the end.

Tips for making the BEST Scrambled Eggs

Use a nonstick pan

I would highly recommend a non stick pan. It makes life a lot easier. 

Use a silicone spatula

The flexibility of a rubber spatula helps to stir and sweep the eggs gently.

Medium low Heat

I use medium low heat for both types of scrambled eggs. Gordon suggests using high heat to make his version of eggs. I use a medium low heat because whilst high heat is ok to begin with, I find that the more that the eggs set, the more I need to keep moving them back and forth (Every day I’m shuffling.. (sorry)), from the stove  and off which might be entertaining to watch but it is difficult to manage when also making toast etc.  

Stir, swirl and Sweep

I like super creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs with wither large curds or small. In order to get the texture correct, I use a rubber spatula to swirl the eggs and gently sweep to create large curds or stir more rapidly when wanting smaller curds.

Stop cooking when they look set

Eggs continue to cook off the heat. They should look slightly runny in places and set in other places. Remove the pan from the heat and leave for a few seconds before emptying onto a plate/toast.
