The Best Scrambled Eggs You'll Ever Make (Restaurant-Quality) | Epicurious 101

[@Cncr_Cell]

I started watching this channel because of Frank, and he’s my favorite chef overall. Food always looks immaculate, recipes are simple, and he’s chill lol. I been watching him for around three years now, and he’s still the goat to me 😂😂 LET’S HEAR IT FOR FRANKKKKKK!!!!

[@rustydespain]

Remember the true frank method must include the sticker!

[@Jackpkmn]

This video gave me the idea to use a silicone spatula instead of the normal stainless steel one i normally use to cook my eggs this morning. Even tho i have a stainless steel pan. It made a huge different thank you so much ❤

[@alias-qb9kx]

Spatula’s are under rated clean the pan while you cook use them all the time.

[@mr.2cents.846]

Don't use anything silicon or plastic with your foods. That stuff tends to leach into your food. Very unhealthy.

[@Jackpkmn]

@@mr.2cents.846 That would matter if that stuff weren't already in mine and your food already. There's worse stuff in some food like mercury contamination in fish for example.

[@apemancommeth8087]

I add my cold butter in small cubes to my eggs half way through the cooking process and by the time they are close to done I still have some small bits not completely melted so it helps them to not overcook!

[@Monster1472580]

Just tried this method and …. I’m never going back to rubber egg land. Oh what a wonderful silky mind blowing experience. Who knew a little bit of technique could change the way I eat eggs for the rest of my life

[@TheArsenalMan125]

I followed these steps exactly and my eggs dried up straight away in the pan was so weird

[@turbojon8117]

​@@TheArsenalMan125Maybe try a lower heat on that burner. I have a burner where I have to set the dial to medium low and it's still pretty hot.

[@ally5524]

His are also a bit dry. Because he pre-heated the pan. So either don't do that, or simply turn the fire off before their texture gets solid.

[@agathar7115]

@@ally5524you must preheat the pan or else you get a super uneven cook, you can’t pour in your eggs and wait 3-4 minutes for the pan to heat up, theyll be crumbly by then. it takes me 40 seconds for eggs to cook using a well preheated pan, much more time and they begin to loose that silky texture

[@IntoTheUnknown9963]

This was my first time ever cooking for myself because I never really learned. This probably will be my best experience ever making eggs or even eating them in general. My brother doesn’t even like eggs but these changed his mind. I’m proud of my self. Thank you!!

[@gonwyte8534]

I cooker Scrambled Eggs for the first time last night before coming to watch this. I used butter and constantly stirred them quick-like until they were fine and creamy, then took them off the burner and mized in some Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Salt and stirred them some more. I garnished thrm with some Frank's RedHot Buffalo. They were the best eggs I had ever eaten in my life. Believe in the power of Real Butter, guys. Believe in the power.

[@manuelHL93]

Just made my own version of silky creamy scrambled eggs!! I Love this Channel so much and chef frank is a master, thank you chef!!

[@detangojet]

This was super helpful. I’ve been struggling making scrambled eggs my whole life.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

I pride myself on my scrambled eggs that always (usually) turn out perfect, but I really want to try adding butter to them after cooking next time like you have done here. YUM! Thanks for the video!

[@XXXX-lv2hc]

Try French style. Totally different technique and time consuming, but worth it.

[@srvntlilly]

Same here. Never heard of that before this. Sounds yummy.

[@joebator9858]

Chef Frank, I made scramble eggs just as you instructed, they were so creamy, tasty eggs. I will always make scramble eggs this way. Thanks!

[@fashionmwah]

Always a pleasure to see Chef Frank!!!

[@MikeyD22]

About halfway through the short cooking process, sprinkle on a little parmagiano reggiano cheese. Unbelievable combination with the butter.

[@Mrdeathrc]

I even take them off the heat just before done and add creme just alittle then back on and off till done.

[@adriansolis5362]

That's almost exactly how I make my scrambled eggs. The one thing I learned is to set the eggs out for 15 minutes before whisking them. That's an excellent tip and I can't wait to try it!

[@mico77720]

[@Seibling]

i think you should take the scrambled eggs off the heat as soon as you see the liquid turn into solid. means here just a bit earlier.

[@DrJohn493]

Scrambled egg perfection! Using this cooking method I like to add just a bit of cheddar cheese and a few drops of hot sauce at the end, then on the side, skillet potatoes, bacon or cured ham, and a slice of toast or a biscuit for a meal that'll last all, and I mean all, morning long.

[@canman87]

I like to add garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt to the beaten eggs before cooking. Nothing too extreme, just enough of each to level up the flavor a bit. And definitely use butter in the pan. If I add any other seasonings after cooking, it's just a bit more pepper. That said, I don't tend to scramble eggs as much as cook them over-medium these days.

[@DeyTookOurJobs]

I add a dime size bit of Sriracha for about 3 eggs. It's amazing

[@suave-rider]

garlic smothers the egg flavor completely

Butter with some eggs added. Delicious!

[@diceman199]

I add the salt and pepper to the eggs before they go in the pan. I also put a few little bit's of butter into the eggs before they hit the pan so they melt in during the cook.

[@barbaraowens2299]

[@mr.2cents.846]

Thank you Chef. Am attempting to make my first scrambled eggs. Which reminds me of the scene in Loving Leah. Where she makes scrambeled eggs for him and he reluctantly eats them and likes them. Really nice movie.

[@rateater1857]

"Eggs can take under a minute to cook" not mine, I be standing there like a Frenchman, furiously scrambling the eggs over the tiniest flame possible, for like 10 minutes. They come out deliciously soft though. I like how everyone does scrambled eggs differently, adds different spices, mixes in different stuff. I like mine with thinly diced onions, bacon, and a shitload of random spice mixes.

[@MyBlackandRedCZ]

10 minutes over a small flame. 🤔 I’ll try that next time.

[@TheCattyKid]

@@MyBlackandRedCZ I agree that outcome works a lot better - low flame, slowly mixing - then as it comes together, on and off the flame while stirring faster and more vigorously - they seem to come out fluffier, eggier, and have enough moisture/texture that is appealing.

[@seaofseeof]

@@MyBlackandRedCZ depending on how long wet you let them, they come out more like a very runny sandwich spread than what most people call a scrambled egg -- which is exactly what I like. Super soft and runny, almost like a thin pudding. The most concentrated egg flavor I've ever tasted.

[@bugsygoo]

I'm completely with you. Low and slow.

[@jmsaltzman]

That's the way to get the eggiest flavor, for sure :)

[@coachzizzle]

[@daveyp613]

Eating these as we speak. Probably the best scrambled eggs I've ever had.

[@peterdurand3098]

Mmmm, butter. A Kenji trick: add a small pinch (not a handful) of salt while whisking then let sit for 10-15 minutes. (They will change color slightly) He explains the chemistry behind it. My touch is to add a tablespoon or so of heavy cream toward the end of whisking. Pepper or chopped parsley to serve.

28 years of marriage and my wife & I cook our scrambled eggs separately -- I do mine similar to yours (I will now adapt mine to yours as I've missed a point or two) and she obliterates any semblance of delicious farm raised eggs (we raise our own). There's no convincing her otherwise. 😁

[@joeclaridy]

Now do a french omlette!

[@Sushihunter250]

My method is very similar, but I like to use high heat and keep the eggs moving in the pan so that they don't brown. I reduce the heat as they get close to being done. I put freshly cracked 4 color pepper on my eggs.

[@Erik_Swiger]

My experience, the tricky part of eggs is the speed of cooking, and the carryover heat. When I master both of these, my eggs are excellent. I've always gone for fluffy scrambled eggs, because I didn't know there was anything different.

[@cristianroth8524]

If you want the absolute creamiest, search for Jacques Pepin's scrambled eggs. Frank's version is much faster and simpler, though.

[@peasant8246]

The eggs came out wonderfully. Thanks for the advice.

Dash of milk during whisking and add cheese at the end. Perfection.

[@aopLib19]

[@actrambley21]

Heavy cream added to the eggs before or during cooking also helps give richness.

[@wolfetom10]

This is exactly how I cook scrambled eggs. I never understood the fetish some chefs have for slowly cooking eggs over 5-10 minutes, until you get something that's almost like a custard. The myth is that high heat makes tough eggs. Bah! Cook at a moderately high heat, quickly, and the eggs never have a chance to get tough since they're only on heat for a minute or two. I like mine a little less wet than Frank does, so I would finish off-heat for another 20 seconds or so, letting the residual heat of the pan firm them up just a bit more.

[@janedoe1435]

These look phenomenal!

[@michaeldrabenstadt595]

Yum. But I add a little bit of milk to mine when mixing. My grandmother did that.

[@MH-fb5kr]

a tablespoon of light cream goes into my scrambled eggs… very little butter or salt

[@ralphanderson2604]

I prefer mine even less cooked than this with a smaller curd that's super creamy and goes great on toast with some fresh herb with chive or green onion and maybe some nice sauteed mushrooms.

[@erics2091]

I use a fork to beat my eggs, but I stopped cooking with so much butter in my mid twenties. I’m not a “super healthy eater”, but I cut back on butter and salt. I use EVOO instead of butter when cooking. With scrambled eggs/omelette I might mix a little milk or sour cream. It gives them flavor and gets them fluffy. But, just eggs with some fresh pepper and a little salt taste great. The trick to any of this is to not overcook the eggs. 🐓🥚🍳

[@tetmayer2015]

I personally prefer the way my dad taught me. Eggs straight onto the pan with tea spoon of butter (We really like when the end product is 2 colors, white and orange), 1,5 "turns" with pepper grinder and 1 "turn" with salt grinder per egg, Medium low heat and don't stop stiring. End then you just eyeball it until it's creamy and perfect.

I pretty much cook my scrambles like chef Frank....I'm going to try putting the butter on after the eggs are cooked as he did in the vid. I've also added either milk or half and half milk to the scramble. Half and half is richer and makes the eggs creamy/delicious too.

I know I've spent way too much time in the lab when my ears perked up when Frank said, "...the salt melts into the eggs." You're not melting the salt, chef. It's dissolving into the eggs. Sodium chloride melts at 801°C, and if your pan is that hot, I think the amount of salt, and when to add it, is the least of your worries.
