Description
Anthony Bourdain’s secret to the best creamy scrambled eggs? Stirring your scrambled eggs with sour cream! Just 3 ingredients to make + ready in 15 min.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup sliced bacon (optional, see note below)
- butter (unless using bacon)
- 4 eggs, whisked
- 1/8 tsp. sea salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
- 2 Tbsp. chopped chives
- 2 Tbsp. sour cream
Instructions
- Heat butter in a medium or large pan (nonstick if you have it) over medium-low heat.
- Pour eggs to the pan, stirring slowly and constantly, until curds start to form.
- When set, remove from heat and stir in sour cream, chives, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- TIP: Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs (this will help result in tender eggs), by slowly pushing the larger curds to the side so the uncooked part flows to the skillet. You can do this in small circles or a figure 8 motion.
- Storage: Store any leftover scrambled eggs with sour cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Eggs are not the best reheated, but the sour cream in eggs trick helps with reheating, too! Gently reheat your Anthony Bourdain scrambled eggs in a skillet with some butter over medium heat, or in the microwave, just until warm. Be careful not to overheat them or they will get rubbery.
- Ingredient notes: Use high-quality eggs for the best and most flavorful results.
- Special tools: A nice nonstick skillet is helpful so your eggs don’t stick too much!
- Serve with: Americano, toast, fresh fruit, breakfast protein.
- TO ADD BACON:
- Fry bacon. Slice the bacon into thin strips and cook in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until crispy. Spoon out some of the grease, leaving some in the pan as our fat instead of using butter.
- Cook eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the non stick skillet (with bacon) over medium-low heat (no milk, no water!!!) and stir constantly (scramble) with a rubber spatula, until curds have formed and eggs are set.
- Finish Bourdain scrambled eggs. When eggs are finished cooking, gently fold in a spoonful of sour cream and chopped chives and get ready for the best scrambled eggs. Top with freshly ground pepper if desired.
