>>212267069I've used this method hundreds of times since I saw that episode. A lot of people say my eggs are their favorite and want them again. Some people are hesitant at first but end up loving them. I haven't had anyone not love them but I know not everyone is going to be honest after someone cooks for them so as not to come off as discourteous. That being said I've only ever cooked for white people. I'm sure browns would be way more harsh because of their inferiority complex bias off the bat.
Of course no one is going to call him out, they'll just ooh and ahh. From what I've found through countless times you cook the eggs a little more done than he did. The under cooked eggs have a weird texture, especially if they are farm raised. But if you cook the eggs a little longer than him that texture disappears and then it just appears runny from the creme fraiche. You just cook it like 30 seconds longer than him or else you'll get those dry gross eggs that every breakfast restaurant tends to serve where they try to cover it up with even more butter than that. Stick it back on the stove after adding the creme fraiche for like 30 seconds. The eggs soak it up a little more and the water evaporates slightly more. They still appear slightly runny but the texture is way better. If done right they are just wet, not runny and the texture is really nice. Critiquing how he does contestants he just needed to cook it like a minute longer (30 more no creme fraiche, 30 more with creme fraiche).
