Scrambled eggs served with bread and spices

Low heat is the whole secret. Fast, hot eggs turn rubbery; slow eggs turn creamy.

Take them off the heat while they still look a little wet.

  3. Finish

    Take off the heat while still soft and slightly wet. Stir in the crème fraîche and herbs, add pepper and serve straight away.

Questions about this recipe

Why are my scrambled eggs watery?

They were cooked too fast or too long, which squeezes out water. Keep the heat low and take them off while still soft.
