SCRAMBLED EGGS FRAICHE
This is a wonderful, slightly creamy egg dish. The chopped parsley gives it tons of great color! If you can't find creme fraiche in your grocery store, just combine 1 tablespoon of buttermilk with 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir together and pour into a jar. Very lightly screw the lid on and let sit for 5 to 8 hours. This it can be refrigerated for 10 to 14 days.

CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CAVIAR RECIPE
Last night I went through 72 eggs worth of scrambled eggs doing some recipe research. Of course, the great thing about developing recipes for a living is that when the clock strikes 2 a.m. and you realize you haven't eaten all night, the solution is usually right in front of you. But what to pair with that final batch of ultra-rich and creamy eggs? Most people don't think caviar when searching for a midnight snack, but why not?

Steps:
- Whisk together eggs and salt in medium bowl. Melt butter in 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring continuously until they begin to set around the edges, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook, gently stirring and scraping constantly until eggs are thick enough that the spatula leaves a trail in the bottom, about 1 minute longer. Continue to cook, stirring more vigorously to prevent eggs from forming large curds until eggs are just barely set and no liquid remains. Add heavy cream, stir to combine, and transfer eggs to serving plate.
- Serve eggs immediately with toast, passing caviar, sour cream, and red onions at the table.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS
Easiest thing in the world, right? And sure, anyone can scramble eggs, but Perfect Scrambled Eggs...there are a few tricks of the trade: first, use a nonstick pan. Second, cook over low heat. Give yourself a little time. Third, undercook them! Cut the flame just before you think your eggs are done and let the carry-over heat finish cooking them. Fourth, butter. Lots of butter. That plus a touch of creme fraiche. Fifth, do not season with salt until the very end. Follow these rules and you will never have flabby, rubbery scrambled eggs again.

SUBLIME SCRAMBLED EGGS BY GORDON RAMSAY
Posting for ZWT6 for Britain Region. You should be warned that after eating these eggs, you'll never want those overcooked tasteless eggs most people prepare ever again! If you have a hard time finding the Creme Fraiche, you can substitute it with sour cream. The key to making creamy, fluffy scramble eggs is the technique.

Steps:
- Break the eggs into a cold, heavy-based pan, place on the lowest heat possible, and add half the butter. Using a spatula, stir the eggs frequently to combine the yolks with the whites.
- As the mixture begins to set, add the remaining butter. The eggs will take about 4-5 minutes to scramble - they should still be soft and quite lumpy. Don't let them get too hot - keep moving the pan off and back on the heat(as the bottom of the pan stays heated even after taking it off of the stove).
- Meanwhile, toast the bread. He used sourdough bread.
- Add the crème fraîche and season the eggs at the last minute, then add the snipped chives. Put the toast on warm plates, pile the softly scrambled eggs on top and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Holding 1 egg narrow end up, remove top half inch of shell with egg topper or knife and discard. Pour egg into a bowl and reserve shell. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Rinse eggshells gently in water, then submerge in a 2-quart saucepan of water and bring to a boil, covered. Remove from heat, leaving shells in water to keep warm.
- While shells come to a boil, add cream to eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a double boiler or in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, then cook egg mixture, gently whisking constantly, until the consistency of pudding (thick enough to mound), 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in salt, pepper, and remaining tablespoon butter. Transfer to a 2-cup glass measure and keep warm, covered.
- Toast bread and cut into long 1/2-inch-thick sticks.
- While bread toasts, drain eggshells upside down on paper towels.
- Put shells in eggcups, then pour egg mixture into shells, guiding flow with a small spoon. (Alternatively, put shells in an empty egg carton to stabilize while filling, then wipe shells clean before transferring to eggcups.) Spoon some caviar on top of each and serve with toast fingers.
Tips:
- When choosing eggs, look for organic, pasture-raised eggs whenever possible. These eggs will have a richer flavor and be more nutritious than conventionally raised eggs.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the eggs. This will help to prevent them from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cook the eggs over low heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Stir the eggs constantly while they are cooking. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Remove the eggs from the heat as soon as they are cooked to your liking. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish the eggs with chives, dill, or smoked salmon before serving.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs with crème fraîche and caviar in eggshell cups are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. The creamy texture of the eggs is complemented perfectly by the salty, briny flavor of the caviar, and the eggshell cups add a touch of whimsy. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
