Gordon Ramsay's Scrambled Eggs on toast

Good Morning Earthlings. Guess what time it is? 

It's breakfast time of course. The best meal of the day! 

I finally made a scrambled egg that I’m happy with. After countless times of cooking eggs different ways and testing out recipes, I finally found the method of cooking that works for me. It is none other than Gordon Ramsay’s on and off the stove method. His method of cooking is pretty much like Heston just that the latter does it over a bain marie and Gordon does it directly over the stove.

I was a little lazy to do the bain marie method so I just went with the stove method.

This method of cooking involves cooking the eggs on and off stove several times. This ensures that the eggs do not get overcooked at any point in time. You can also decide on how”liquid” your eggs look. Not sure if that’’s the correct term to describe eggs haha coz it pretty much sounds like it is uncooked. But you know what I mean. That shiny, velvety texture seen in Gordon’s eggs that speaks to you from your screen. You can almost taste it and imagine how the eggs would take on a melt in your mouth texture. Period. Sorry, I get all excited whenever I talk about eggs coz I simply can’t live without them ;)

You have to constantly stir the eggs to make sure it doesn’t get overcooked . When you think it has reached your desired texture, remove from heat and add the cream. This is to prevent the egg from constantly cooking. Now’s the time to season and taste the eggs. Garnish with chives  and serve yummy on toast.

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 tbsp cream

knob of butter

salt

pepper

chives

Method

1) Crack eggs (Whole eggs) into a pan together with a knob of butter ( about 1-2 tsp) and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for a good 5-8 minutes. 

2) Once the eggs start to set a little, take pan off the stove and stir 

3) Bring pan back to stove and stir until creamy/ desired consistency

4) Remove pan from heat and stir in cream

5) Season with salt and pepper ( to taste)

6) Garnish with chives 

7) Serve hot on toast and enjoy!! 

Avocado Scrambled Eggs Toast

My fav sandwich ingredient has got to be Avocados. It has this creamy texture that goes really well with sandwich and not to say eggs. 

It is packed with healthy fats that can actually lower the bad cholesterol in your body. It is also low in sugar and high in fiber. Just what your body will need on a day to day basis. 

Of course that's talk on avocados being high in calories due to the high "healthy fat" content making up a fair bit of the whole fruit but if taken in moderation, the benefits do outweigh the cons. Plus it is said to help lower the risk of cancer and other diseases. 

Recipe

Ingredients: 

- half an avocado

-2 eggs

-2 slices of bread

Steps:

1) Slice the avocado into thin strips. Season with a little salt and pepper

2) Beat 2 eggs with a dash of salt and pepper in a bowl and heat n a pan

3) Toast 2 slices of bread till crusty brown

4) Top bread with slices of avocado and your scrambled eggs and voila! 

A homemade dish whipped up in a few minutes is definitely worth making rather than unhealthy take outs! :) 

Brioche with Truffle Scrambled Eggs and Vine Tomatoes

Brioche is a rich French pastry made with additional eggs and butter thus giving it that nice fluffy texture. You can have it together with poached eggs, smoked salmon, roast beef, ham etc the list goes on or simply indulge in a sweeter version with maple syrup and fresh fruits. I personally prefer to have it plain so I can pull-apart that fluffy interior and allow the bread to melt in my mouth. Bliss!

Whenever I’m feeling lazy, I tend to take the quick way out by making eggs. It’s the simplest yet most versatile thing to whip up. It also makes for a satisfying meal. I added in a dash of truffle oil to my scramble eggs and that I have to say brought the meal to another level. Forget about truffle fries, when I can have it in my eggs. It’s a healthy alternative too!

Cherry tomatoes on the vines as garnish for sides make it more balanced meal. Bon appétit!
