These soft scrambled eggs are made using a simple technique that creates big, fluffy curds with a tender, creamy texture. With cold eggs, cold pan, and low heat, you’ll get perfectly cooked scrambled eggs every time—no vigorous stirring required!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½-1 teaspoon salt or more or less to taste
- 2-4 tablespoons cream the more cream the fluffier the eggs
- 1 knob cold butter
- Cracked black pepper to serve
- Toast for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a bowl.
- Add salt and cream. Whisk with a fork until combined.
- Do not add pepper yet—it’s best after cooking otherwise could turn the eggs a grey colour.
- Place a knob of cold butter in a cold pan.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
- Set the stove to low heat.
- Let the eggs begin to slowly set without stirring.
- Once they just begin to set, gently push the eggs with a spatula to form ribbons.
- Repeat: let set slightly, then gently push to form large curds.
- As the mixture heats up, curds will form faster—keep gently pushing, not stirring.
- Remove from heat just before eggs are fully cooked.
- Serve with cracked pepper and toast, if desired.

Notes
- This technique works best with 6–12 eggs.
