This is an unusual but special egg dish-entirely a home cook's meal. Scrambling eggs in water gives them a fantastic texture, airy-light and silky.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large fresh eggs
6 cups water
Fruity olive oil, to taste
Flaky sea salt, preferably Maldon
Black pepper
Chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Crack two eggs into a bowl. Look for the egg whites to be thick, which means the eggs are fresh. If you see thin whites, place the egg into a slotted spoon: the thick part will stay on top while the rest drips through.
  • Use a fork to beat the eggs for 30 seconds. This brings the whites and yolks together and brings a lot of air into the eggs.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Stick a fork into the boiling water and move it around in a clockwise direction to make a whirlpool. Pour the eggs in and put the lid on the saucepan. Count to 20. Turn off the heat and remove the cover. The eggs will have set like a "raft" on top of the water. To remove the eggs, gently pour out most of the water, then place the eggs in a fine mesh strainer. Put the drained eggs in a serving bowl and drizzle with fruity olive oil to taste; add a sprinkle of flaky salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh chives.
