You crack, whisk, pour into the pan — and still, something about the texture of your scrambled eggs doesn’t quite match what you get at a restaurant? Maybe it’s time to learn the technique from Delish — one of the most popular food platforms on TikTok.
In their video, food editor Francesca Zani reveals her method for making the creamiest scrambled eggs you’ll ever taste, and she promises: “They’re better than anything I’ve ordered at a restaurant.” The secret? Yogurt or sour cream. Yes, you heard right.
But even before you grab the pan, there’s an important step almost everyone skips: Salting the eggs before cooking — right when you whisk them. Then, let the mixture rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Why? Because it breaks down the proteins and creates a much more delicate mixture.
After resting, add a small teaspoon of Greek yogurt (or sour cream) to the mixture, stir well, and heat a pan with a small knob of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, pour in the eggs, wait a few seconds, and then gently “push” with a spatula — not fast stirring.
Here’s how she does it:
Like in Gordon Ramsay’s method, the goal is to cook in intervals: Cook on medium-low heat and don’t rush to stir. Wait a few seconds until the bottom starts to set, then gently push with a spatula — just a bit. Wait again, then push once more. Want scrambled eggs with small curds? Keep gently moving them. Prefer large, soft curds? Let the eggs sit for a moment before each movement. This way you’ll get a creamy, delicate, and precise texture — just right.
When the eggs are almost done, even still slightly runny, that’s when you take them off the heat. Serve on toast, with herbs or your favorite sauce. You’ve got a café-level breakfast with an upgrade no one will guess started with just scrambled eggs.
