Learn How The French Scramble Their Eggs
When opting to create this, always remember that they don’t call this scrambled kind of eggs, they say agitated like oeufs brouilles - a bit mysterious but sounds romantic. They pair this off with baguette that is warm and topped with butter.
French-Style of Creating Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
2 pats butter (unsalted, cold); 1 of the pats, cubed
6 pcs eggs
3 tbsps whipping cream; whipped up
2 tbsps caviar
Using your double-boiler, allow a cup of water to boil, placing one pan right above its top. Ensure that it doesn’t touch your water then turn heat lower. Place butter inside your pan, allowing for it really to slowly melt. About one to two minutes will do. Simultaneously whisk eggs until completely mixed.
Pour eggs in pan, carefully and continuously folding in eggs within its center using one spoon that is wooden. Never chop your mixture, just fold them. Then once eggs starts to create curds, then add in the remainder of your butter, while continuously folding.
Once eggs still are soft yet firm, take them off heat then add in cream. Then fold them really carefully a lot of times till they’re completely mixed. Either include some caviar inside or make it as sort of a bit of garnish in your plate.
