I made scrambled eggs using English, French, and American methods and was shocked by how different they all tasted

Insider

• I made scrambled eggs using celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's take on three global techniques.
• In a YouTube video, Oliver demonstrates how he makes the English, French, and American versions of this classic breakfast.
• Though I thought the French version was tasty, they required more work and more pans than either of the other versions.
• Regardless of which method home cooks use, understand that they'll all take practice with your own kitchen equipment to figure out how to get them just right.

On my quest to find the best way to cook scrambled eggs, I found a video from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver outlining three different techniques: English, French, and American.

Oliver used the exact same ingredients for each batch of scrambled eggs — two eggs per person, a pinch of salt, and a knob of butter — and explained how changing just the method used to cook them can alter their flavor.

After trying the different versions of scrambled eggs for myself, I see what he means. Following the celebrity chef's lead, I used two pots, one pan, one bowl, a whisk, and two spatulas to cook what he has dubbed English, French, and American scrambled eggs.
