This is the *only* way I make scrambled eggs now! I add freeze dried dill and feta to mine (sometimes spinach and cherry tomatoes, too), and top with a little crushed red pepper. Definitely worth the time it takes to cook them! I also like to toast sliced baguette with olive oil and rubbed w/ a garlic clove to scoop up my eggs.

Like Jaques Pepin says, there's no right way to eat eggs. BUT I could never stomach eating eggs like Marco Pierre White says you must make them. Respect, 20 minutes is dedication for sure, but still. I have never understood the appeal of wet eggs.

Ya I know they’re not for everyone. I’m doing a series soon where I compare a few different ways. I have a way to do soft (wet) scrambled eggs in about 45 seconds. My normal go to. My kids used to like them drier but I slowly converted them over the years.

If you’ve ever watched the movie Big Night, the Italian way they prepare them at the end of the movie is another favourite way to do them.

Leave the kids alone!! Haha just kidding. My husband only likes eggs the way you've shown here and I like mine cracked in the pan and scrambled in butter. I also like to keep the whites and yolks somewhat distinct. There are no shoulds about it, that's the only thing MPW messed up on.

I love the Big Night way (I call it an empty omelette) but I'll add finely grated cheese and roll it up!

.. I'm sorry .. but I believe a wooden spoon would be the most sufficient kitchen utensil for this preparation ..

Yup! A wooden spoon would be just fine. My favourite wooden spoon broke the week before I made this video so I’ve been using my old silicone spatula until I find a new one I like.
