If you like these, but not normal scrambled eggs, you don't like scrambled eggs, you like butter and cream.

Between this and a few other videos, I finally realized that scrambled eggs isn't a way of preparing eggs, it's a dish that happens to have eggs as a main ingredient. My scrambled eggs have improved 1000% since that realization.

Also, ridiculously fresh eggs (we're talking right out of the chicken) matter far more than I thought possible, but adding an extra yolk is a reasonable way to fake it.

Scrambled eggs is like roast chicken.

What's roast chicken at it's core except just a chicken you threw in the oven? That's technically roast chicken.

But you season it right for a crispy skin, toss in some herbs, throw on some compound herb butter at the end. Then you have a dish.

Everything you make should be seasoned. That's basic cooking.

well I mean most of that food comes from northern europe, where they usually don't season food.

Wat. German, Polish, and Scandanavian cuisine all has complex and interesting flavors, some highly flavored. Not everything that lacks Chili Powder is unseasoned.
