Important Notes

⚠️

Always choose good quality eggs, such as barn eggs, free-range, or free-range organic, as they are a delicious and nutritious source of protein.

⚠️

Eggs cook at a very low temperature, so gentle heat and precise technique are key to achieving the desired texture for each style.

⚠️

For English-style scrambled eggs, remove them from the heat slightly undercooked as residual heat in the pan will continue the cooking process, preventing them from becoming dry.

⚠️

The French method requires continuous whisking over a water bath for a delicate, fine curd. The American method involves folding the egg sheets as they set in a frying pan for a substantial texture.

⚠️

The specific cooking method profoundly changes the texture, look, and taste of the scrambled eggs, even with the same basic ingredients.
