00:00Eggs, come on, we all love them, whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner.

00:03So today, I'm going to show you my favourite way to cook eggs.

00:07Scrambled and fried.

00:10I'll start the fried egg first, and then I'll go straight to the scrambled egg.

00:13So, gently heat that pan, just gently.

00:17If you start cracking eggs into a coal pan, whatever pan it is, it's going to stick.

00:21So get some heat in there, okay?

00:23I like to start with a tiny drop, just a tiny drop of oil.

00:29Literally, just a touch.

00:31And then from there, a little knob of butter.

00:35Now, butter goes in.

00:37And before I do anything else, melt that butter.

00:41Turn the heat down.

00:44Season that butter, so my eggs season underneath.

00:47Touch of salt, touch of pepper.

00:49Get my egg, crack it on a flat surface, and then literally drop it down, open it up,

00:56and crack that into the pan.

00:59Now, back onto the heat.

01:01Generate a touch of your heat, nice and gentle, and just gently shake that.

01:07And that helps that non-stick to work its magic.

01:10Now, look at it, it's starting to blister and bubble.

01:12The heat's getting in.

01:13I'm going to turn the heat back down now.

01:16Now, hear that noise?

01:18That's the chef's dream.

01:20Let that blister on the outside.

01:22But look, gently move it.

01:24I like a touch, a touch of chili flake on my fried egg, just a touch.

01:30And then what I do now is literally get the butter, shake that gently,

01:36and just baste the egg whites around the yolk.

01:42And look, that helps cook.

01:45Sometimes with that raw egg white around the yolk, it's uncomfortable.

01:49And the best way is to take the spoon and just baste your egg.

01:53And look, that blistering is beautiful.

01:56And look, bring it onto a cold surface.

01:58That'll help separate.

02:00And then underneath, if you want your eggs over easy, you flip that.

02:07I like my yolk really nice and runny.

02:10Shake, shake, shake.

02:13Now, when we come to serve, spatula, drain off your egg.

02:21Beautiful.

02:22Glides out of the pan.

02:24Set that on there.

02:26And there we have a beautiful, stunning, delicious fried egg.

02:31But look, runny yolk, nice, crispy, delicious egg white.

02:35And when you finish it with that little touch of chili flake,

02:38it elevates that amazing flavor.

02:42Now, scrambled egg.

02:44Start off in a cold pan.

02:45And the secret here is the working.

02:47When you go on and off the heat, eggs overcook instantly.

02:51Now, crack the eggs.

02:55Now, the secret of any good scrambled egg is in stopping the eggs from overcooking.

03:04We never whisk our eggs before we cook them.

03:08It turns the whole thing grainy.

03:10Two, four, six beautiful whole eggs.

03:13Now, we go onto the stove.

03:16From there, I take a couple of knobs of butter.

03:21On with the heat, spatula, and we start stirring.

03:27And the most important part here now, okay, is breaking up those eggs.

03:32As you can see, I'm using the plastic scraper.

03:34And the beautiful thing about this Hexlad pan is you can see how clean I'm wiping around,

03:41bringing the eggs back down into the mixture.

03:43So, I'm on the heat now.

03:44I've got no seasoning in there, okay.

03:47I'm starting to generate the heat.

03:49You can see the eggs starting to cook.

03:51I'm 60 seconds on.

03:52I come off now.

03:54I clean down the side of my pan.

03:56I whisk it back in.

03:58And there is a secret, making sure that you're folding everything from that pan, cleaning the sides.

04:04And so, I've got maximum yield on the eggs.

04:07I'm off for 30 seconds.

04:08I go back on.

04:09I turn the gas down, and we whisk.

04:14Look at the eggs, how quick, how it's cooked.

04:16They come off.

04:18I fold them in.

04:19Now, to stop them from overcooking, a little touch of creme fraiche.

04:23In we go.

04:25Fold that in.

04:26And now, now is the moment I start to season my eggs.

04:31The creme fraiche cools my scrambled eggs down.

04:34Lightly season.

04:35The gas is off.

04:36I've still got that heat inside my pan, but the eggs are light and fluffy and seasoned.

04:43Look at the color of those yolks.

04:45I like a light sort of onion flavor.

04:49And all I do here is just put some nice, beautiful chopped chives running through.

04:55Sprinkle the chives on top.

04:57Fold them in.

04:59And look, they just sit there nicely.

05:01There's no water.

05:02The color's incredible.

05:05And look at this scrambled egg.

05:09And when you make scrambled eggs like this in a stunning, nonstick pan, there's no waste.

05:16And look.

05:18And there we have a beautiful, stunning, amazing scrambled egg that screams perfection.

05:28A big thank you to Hexclad.
