  • Eggs. Come on.

  • We all love them, whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner.

  • So today I'm gonna show you my favorite way to cook eggs, scrambled and fried.

  • I'll start the fried egg first and then I'll go straight to the scrambled egg.

  • So gently heat that pan, just gently.

  • If you start cracking eggs into a cold pan, whatever pan it is, it's gonna stick.

  • So get some heat in there. OK?

  • I like to start with a tiny drop.

  • Just a tiny drop of oil, literally just a touch.

  • And then from there, a little knob of butter.

  • Now, butter goes in and before I do anything else, melt that butter, turn the heat down, season that butter.

  • So my eggs season underneath, touch of salt, touch of pepper,

  • Get my egg, crack it on a flat surface and then literally drop it down, open it up and crack that into the pan.

  • Now, back onto the heat, generate a touch of your heat.

  • Nice and gentle and just gently shake that.

  • And that helps that non stick to work its magic.

  • Now, look at it.

  • It's starting to blister and bubble. The heat's getting in and turn the heat back down now.

  • Now hear that noise?

  • That's the chef's dream.

  • Let that blister on the outside, but look, gently move it.

  • I like a touch, a touch of chili flake on my fried egg.

  • Just a touch.

  • And then all I do now is to literally get the butter.

  • Shake that gently and just baste the egg whites around the yolk.

  • And look, that helps cook.

  • Sometimes with that raw egg white around the yolk. It's uncomfortable.

  • And the best way is to take the spoon and just baste your egg and look, that blistering is beautiful.

  • And now bring onto a cold surface that'll help separate.

  • And then underneath, if you want your eggs over easy, you flip that.

  • I like my yolk really nice and runny shake, shake, shake.

  • Now, when we come to serve, spatula, drain off the egg, beautiful, glides out of the pan.

  • Put that on there and there we have a beautiful, stunning, delicious fried egg.

  • But look, runny yolk nice, crispy, delicious egg white.

  • And when you finish it with that little touch of chili flake, it elevates that amazing flavor.

  • Now scrambled egg.

  • Start off in the cold pan.

  • And the secret here is the working.

  • When you go on and off the heat, eggs overcook instantly.

  • Now crack the eggs.

  • Now, the secret of any good scrambled egg is in stopping the eggs from over cooking.

  • We never whisk our eggs before we cook them.

  • It turns the whole thing grainy.

  • 246, beautiful whole eggs.

  • Now, we go onto the stove from there.

  • I take a couple of knobs of butter.

  • On with the heat, spatula and we start staring and the most important part here now is breaking up those eggs.

  • As you can see, I'm using the plastic scraper.

  • And the beautiful thing about this HexClad pan is you can see how clean I'm wiping around, bringing the eggs back down into the mixture.

  • So I'm on the heat now, I've got no seasoning in there. Ok.

  • I'm starting to generate the heat.

  • You can see the eggs starting to cook.

  • 60 seconds on, I come off now.

  • I clean down the side of my pan.

  • I whisk it back in and there is a secret making sure that you're folding everything from that pan, clean the sides.

  • And so I've got maximum yield on the eggs.

  • I'm off for 30 seconds.

  • I go back on.

  • I turn the gas down and we whisk.

  • Look at the eggs.

  • How quick that coat they come off.

  • I fold them in now to stop them from overcooking, a little touch of creme fresh in we go.

  • Fold that in and now is the moment I start to season my eggs, the creme fresh cools my scrambled eggs down, lightly season the gas is off.

  • I've still got that heat inside my pan, but the eggs are light and fluffy and seasoned.

  • Look at the color of those yolks.

  • I like a light sort of onion flavor.

  • And all I do here is just put some nice, beautiful chopped chives running through that will Sprinkle the chives on top, fold them in and look, they just sit there nicely.

  • There's no water.

  • The color is incredible.

  • And look at this scrambled egg and when you make scrambled eggs like this in a stunning nonstick pan, there's no waste and look.

  • And then we have a beautiful, stunning, amazing scrambled egg that screams perfection.

  • A big thank you to HexClad.

Eggs. Come on.
