You answered my question - thanks. Much easier than hauling out and cleaning a food processor. 😅

Air in the eggs is great. Some of the best eggs I ever had were from a cafe in the lower east side that would use the steamer on the exspresso machine. They would put the eggs in the milk jug and steam them for 30 seconds. The eggs would come out so delicate and fluffy.

I scramble them for awhile, until it’s saturated with bubbles, and make it on extremely low heat. Minimal mixing, for a silky smooth bite. This is just next level, I thought I mastered it but still so much to learn. Looks fantastic.. Thank you for teaching us!!

I use an immersion blender.and cook low and slow. Mixing constantly. Excellent video.

Noticeably orange yolks come from plants carotenoids in the chickens diet. You see this in chickens that were raised in a free range situation. Not a "letter of the law" free range, but as in actually letting the chickens roam and be free to eat a variety of foods. This will be more common in the summer months because there are usually more plants to be eaten. Of course that will vary region to region because local climate, plant variety, etc. So typically an orange yolk is a sign of the chicken meeting a minimum threshold for life quality while being pasture raised. The likely reason that Uwajimaya eggs you get specifically feed their chickens chili flake is to mimic the healthy signs of a good free range chicken. Basically, a healthier version of food coloring. It's the world we live in.

Yes! In addition to variety in plant matter, true free range chickens eat bugs which also contribute to the deep color of the yolks. Lots of proteins in their feed.

I haven't eaten at a restaurant since the 90s tbh. It was a Fritanga and I got a churrasco. Oh, and I once went to a Peruano place with this like green spaghetti dish...fire. But yeah, these videos fascinate me bc my dad worked in the industry for decades and based on his stories, I decided I never want someone else to handle my food ever again 😂

I use a 2 cup measuring cup and an immersion blender. I put a tablespoon of cream or creme fraiche in as well. Then cook low and slow mixing constantly with a spatula. So maybe an extra 2 minutes and no additional dishes.

Here's the tip nobody ever tells you: keep a dedicated egg pan that *never, ever sees soap of any kind.* You simply rinse it in hot water and wipe it out with either paper towels (best) or a fresh-out-da-laundry dish rag. The only things that should ever go in that pan are scrambled eggs and butter. I've had this confirmed by multiple cooks and chefs. I have such a pan, and I can make restaurant level scrambled eggs in it. Why? Simple. Eggs have a very delicate flavor, and you can never _completely_ get the soap residue out of a nonstick pan, which is what you want to use for scrambled eggs. That mere hint of soap residue is just enough to alter the flavor of the eggs. So if you want to make, say, a Denver omelet, cook the fillings in another pan, pour the eggs into your egg pan and then place the fillings on top of the eggs and fold them over.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my scrambled eggs. I do it very much like your video I do add a step. I fork scramble the eggs first and strain them to remove the chalaza, then I process them through the food processor. It's a little fussy but I don't like the appearance or the texture of the chalaza. I love the bread recommendation and the whipped cheese/butter. Both of which I'll try.

Turns breakfast into a serious cardiac event😂

I don't know man, I've never been to a Michelin star restaurant but the scramble eggs i get from the auntie at my favorite hawker stall is life changing. 😂

Just to note: it's not what hens are fed that creates the color differences in the yolks. Hens have slight DNA variations that cause it. But hens that are fed hot peppers (hens cannot taste capsaicin) will produce eggs with a bit if a heat kick. Great video Bruh! Thanks for this tip. Tried it this morning, and worked like a charm!

Learned a few tips to up my kitchen game. Thanks!

Love your work. Subscribed! Maybe do the cheese first then the eggs. They can leach out the cheesy goodness from the blender. A cafe I worked at we blended something like 40 eggs per batch. I dont remember the number exactly, with 600 ml of cream, and used this base for many things.

i was surprised he did not put in a heavy cream, or at least milk, when processing it. i know some people think it's controversial to add. i use a vitamix with aero container and add cream then use a microfine grater for cheddar cheese. can't wait to try this though

Also, this is my first whipped cheese butter. Now I'm thinking of all the different kinds of cheese to do this with. Just smear it on a piece of toast!

I’ll give cooking the eggs that way a try on Sunday. I’ll be having them with asparagus though because it’s the English asparagus season right now.

Any seasoning ??

In addition to the hens diet, the freshness of the egg will affect the yolk color. Fresh eggs have darker almost orange yolks, as the egg gets older the yolk becomes a brighter yellow.

What pan do you use?

I just watched your Grilled Cheese Video,... I often put creamy French Style Scrambles on top of a Grilled Cheese for my Granddaughter & she eats it with knife & fork. Done that for her for like 12 years.

im sure its tough to cook for the film and the edit and I know that makes it all so much more complicated than just cooking but for those at home that pan was probably hotter than you want it. its why he took it off the heat so fast, curds were forming and drying out faster than he could stir basically. vid still looked awesome but if you aren't gonna refilm at least tell the people at home what you did wrong so they wont do it too XD.

Hi Matt! Where can I find the right recipe? I looked on discord but I didn't find it...

How many ounces of cheese to the 8 tablespoons of butter?

First and foremost: this looks phenomenal, I'll definitely be making it myself, and you now have a new subscriber. That being said, I'm sure it was only because of the challenges associated with cooking while filming a video, but that leftover egg in the food processor (spatula would have got that out!), as well as the spillover egg out of the pan broke my cheapskate soul of a fatty heart! I was like, "that's a few extra bites of deliciousness we just lost there!"

Doing the same, I basically grew up on scrambled eggs and was sick of them and were always overcooked. Prefered fried eggs after that. After a few decades wanted to try scrambled eggs done right and that’s how I stumbled on to Matt’s channel. Watched another dozen videos and decided to subscribe as well, not a decision I make lightly. Cheers.

When you finish eating your breakfast and washing all the dishes it will be time for lunch.

Chili flake is a bit of a hack way of doing it. The real way is protein. The higher the protein, the more orange the egg yolk.

is the whipped cheese the salt in the dish? Notice you didn't season the eggs.

Awesome vid! But I always wonder why chefs HATE the brunch shift! I remember from watching Bourdain back in the day he would always rag on brunch.

Missing a dash of heavy cream in the eggs

What goes in the egg mix? Salt? Pepper? Cream?

Yeah blending the eggs is a great technique. It took years of making scrambled eggs for me to sort of learn that on my own. Big kudos to you for also pointing out that this is but one of many different, viable ways to make scrambled eggs depending on the purpose. Too many recipe videos try to make it seem like there's just one "true" way to do it and other ways are like..."alternative" ways when the truth is that they're all alternative ways with distinct purposes. This sort of creamy, restaraunt style is great but it's definitely not for every use.

Well, this is the first of your videos I've seen. It was morning. I had eggs, butter, aged cheddar, bread and scallions that I re-grew in a plastic bucket. And I was hungry. Delicious and big thumbs up, but one request. Please don't make a video about robbing a convenience store.

"F%#%@" brunch!" You know he’s a professional chef. Why they all seem to hate brunch is a mystery to me, but it seems to be true. My son is a professional chef; he hates it too, but is unable or unwilling to explain why.

Its anything with beta carotene in it which will make them darker. Cheapest plants you can get with higher beta carotene will the job id making eggs darker. Nutritionally, hens being outside and eating things they really thrive on makes the eggs higher and healthier -- nutritionally. Chickens like to eat animals the most like mealworms, worms. That is their natural preference and THAT makes them healthier.

Just checking…the butter/cheddar mix is only used on the toast? I didn’t notice any being put into the eggs. Totally cool, just wondering. Scrambled eggs and toast are total bros, can’t eat one without the other!
