Ramsay’s Perfect Breakfast Eggs

Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food has a wide range of different recipe types, from simple bar snacks to full Sunday roasts and puddings. However, it struck me that there is one type of meal served regularly in pubs up and down the UK that is missing from the book – breakfasts!

My favourite early morning pub experience in London has to be breakfast at The Cock Tavern. As well as guaranteeing a decent supply of bacon and sausage, the Cock’s location, right underneath Smithfield meat market on the edge of the square mile, guarantees an unorthodox crowd. The 70’s time warp of a pub opens at 6am and serves hearty breakfasts and pints of Guinness to an unusual mix of end-of-shift market workers, early rising city traders and bemused tourists. Definitely one to check out if you find yourself in the capital with an early morning thirst to slake!

Whilst a “Full English” is great way to start the day, my weekend breakfasts are usually a simpler affair of toast and scrambled eggs, of which I’ve always been quite proud. That was until I stumbled across this YouTube video of Gordon showing how to make the perfect scrambled eggs – I have to admit to making everyone of the common egg scrambling mistakes he mentions in the clip. It’s a fun and easy demonstration and it’s also good to see that even Michelin starred chefs burn the toast sometimes! Check it out below.

This weekend I will try making my breakfast eggs the Gordon Ramsay way – why not give it a go yourself?
