Scrambled egg fans will know the joy of taking that first bite into a fluffy pillow laid on a crunchy piece of toast.
While eggs are tasty in many forms, a Michelin-star chef has shared a simple cooking tip to bring your scramble up a level. Those who've tried it have praised its "incredible" results and you don't need to be a pro to give it a try - you just need some kitchen tools.
Chef Thomas Keller has shared his recipe for French-style scrambled eggs on MasterClass - and he explained that the secret lies in how you mix them. According to the expert, you should whisk your eggs instead of beating them with a fork.
As he explained when he shared his French-style scrambled eggs recipe with MasterClass, chef Thomas Keller also recommends further blending your eggs after whisking them. The tip has been backed by a social media foodie, who offered her own online demonstration
But how exactly does whisking your egg batter make a difference? As reported by the Mirror, the recipe does say "while it is perfectly fine to beat the eggs using a fork, Chef Keller prefers using a whisk".
You might also question how to blend your eggs, but again you're in luck. He instructs: "For further refinement, blend the eggs using a blender or immersion blender and pass the blended eggs through a chinois."
What's more, it sounds like the tip works a treat even if you don't have access to a chinois – or a similar fine mesh strainer. One fan put the trick to the test, using what appears to be a regular strainer, and enjoyed brilliant results.
Recommending Chef Keller's work on TikTok, fellow foodie Maxine Sharf, who posts as @maxiskitchen, shared a demonstration. "I decided I'd like to make scrambled eggs like a Michelin star chef so I studied Thomas Keller's method and gave it a go," she explained.
Maxine continued: "He has you strain the eggs to break up the proteins and then cook on very low heat with some crème fraîche added at the end. I'm telling you these were so custardy and incredible."
Delighted by her video, which has racked up over 4.8 million views, several fans tested out the tip themselves.
"Just tried it and they were great," read one reply. "Tried this today. And it SLAPPED. Added some more spice tho," revealed a second. Meanwhile, someone else praised: "I love eggs like this. You can tell when eggs are overcooked or not right."
