What are soft scrambled eggs?

This is a super creamy, rich, and indulgent take on your classic scrambled egg recipe. Instead of firm and tender curds, this recipe produces eggs that are more liquidy and smooth. 

The process requires a lot of attention, constant stirring, and temperature control. Rather than whisking the eggs in a separate bowl first, they’re cracked directly into a pan, mixed with butter, and only seasoned at the end. You need to take the pan on and off the heat continuously to ensure the eggs do not overcook or burn.

At the end, the eggs are seasoned with salt and creamy Bourson cheese. It’s a real treat to start your day with.

Are soft scrambled eggs safe to eat?

There are two factors that could affect the safety of your eggs: the cooking time and storage. Soft scrambled eggs require more attention and sensitivity as they cook. As long as you follow the detailed recipe instructions carefully and my top 3 tips, your eggs should be safe to eat.

Enjoy your eggs as soon as they’re done cooking. Letting them sit out at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could welcome unhealthy bacteria.

Feel free to lengthen the cooking time by 1 or 2 minutes if you’re unsure. For more information, check out Bon Appetite’s guide on making soft scrambled eggs safely or watch Gordon Ramsay cook them himself.

My top 3 tips for cooking soft scrambled eggs

You can get soft and creamy scrambled eggs every time if you remember these 3 crucial tips:

1. Don’t whisk eggs before cooking them. Instead, crack the eggs straight into the pan.
2. Stir the eggs constantly once they’re in the pan. This helps the eggs cook evenly.
3. To stop the eggs from overcooking, add a small spoonful of something cold (like cream cheese or more butter) to the eggs once you’ve taken them off the heat. As a bonus, they’ll turn out extra creamy.

Ingredients you need

If you can’t find Boursin cheese, use a teaspoon of creme freche instead. Otherwise, this small list of ingredients is likely to already be in your pantry!

This is what you need:

• Cold eggs
• Boursin cheese
• Butter
• Salt
• Chives

How to make soft scrambled eggs

One of the secrets to soft and luscious scrambled eggs is to cook them over very low heat. Having patience pays off in a major way at the end.

This is how you make the best soft scrambled eggs:

1. Add eggs to a saucepan: Crack the eggs directly into a nonstick skillet or saucepan. Don’t beat or season them yet! Add the butter and turn the heat to medium.
2. Begin to stir: Using a rubber spatula, stir the eggs continuously. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan as you go.
3. Remove from the heat: After 30 seconds, take the pan off the heat but keep stirring. Give it 10 seconds to cool down, and then place it back on the heat. Repeat this process for 3 minutes.
4. Add the cheese and serve: Remove from the heat for a final time and add in the Boursin Cheese. Stir everything together before lightly seasoning with salt. Plate the eggs, garnish with fresh chives, and enjoy!
