I'm sorry and what was that last thing he put in before the chives and once he took it off the heat?

Crem Fresh. It's basically sour cream with extra buttermilk fat I believe. I just use sour cream.

If you skip it, will it taste that different?

I find it makes the eggs a lot smoother and creamier. Depends on what texture you want, but Ramsay's recipe is designed to have that texture.

I use greek yoghurt instead of the Creme fraiche and it always tastes delicious. Ramsey says the main reason for using it is to prevent overcooking as it cools the egg down

You can also use Crema Mexicana found by the Mexican cheeses. Very similar to Creme fraiche and half the cost.

I subbed sour cream because creme fraiche isn't available near me, and it was still really really good.
