Make the 'best' scrambled eggs with chef's alternative 2-step method

A home cook has shared their recipe for the "best" scrambled eggs . Whether you prefer yours poached, fried or scrambled, eggs are a weekend breakfast staple in many households. But while just about anyone can whip up a batch of scrambled eggs, you can elevate your brunch by adding an extra step.

Posting to TikTok , @thisiscrumb, an account featuring recipes and cooking guides from chef and author Devin Connell, said: "How to make the best scrambled eggs. Heat one [tablespoon] olive oil in a non-stick pan." Demonstrating the second step, she added: "Let the whites set for 30 seconds or so.



Use a spatula to start scrambling the egg whites, leaving the yolks in tact. "When the whites are cooked, break the yolks and stir into the whites. Remove from the heat before the yolks have completely cooled.

" This method of cooking scrambled eggs divided viewers in the comments section, with one writing: "I love them scrambled in the pan this way glad I'm not alone!!" Another said: "This looks so good omg why haven't I thought of this." Meanwhile, a third referenced recently the video in their own take on the recipe alongside the caption: "The girl that said you need to cook the egg whites first and then break the yolk for the perfect scrambled eggs on here literally changed my life." Not everyone agreed, however, with one commenting: "No," and another saying: "This is wrong.

" This isn't the only scrambled egg cooking hack out there, with many chefs also offering up their own versions of the classic breakfast dish. Gordon Ramsay cooks his eggs over a medium heat, pulling the pan off the heat as soon as the curds start to thicken. He then allows the eggs to continue to cook off the heat source for about 20 seconds before then returning the pan to a medium heat for a further 90 seconds.

The celebrity chef also recommends cracking eggs straight into the pan, stirring continuously and adding a spoonful of something cold like butter or sour cream to stop the eggs from overcooking and make them extra creamy..
