1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: All right, guys, welcome to Always Hungry from My Heart Radio. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: My name is Bobby Flay, and i'm you with my 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: daughter and co host. Yes, I'm Sophie Flagg. Yes you are, 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: and I'm Always Hungry. Sophie and I gather around my 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: stove to cook together. Well, you cook, I asked the 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: questions and eat the food. That's also accurate. That's if 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: there's any food left. You come to the table together 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: to share a meal, connect as a family, and tell 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: the stories that matter to us. All I want to 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: tell them what today's episode is all about. Okay, this 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: topic is a personal favorite of mine. This episode is 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: all about breakfast, sunny side up on the stove. Let's 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: get it. Okay. So I put some toast in the 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: toast from my favorite bakery carteen in l A. And 15 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: then we're gonna make scrambled eggs. But this was your idea. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: You wanted me to make scrambled Yeah, these are your 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: famous scrambled eggs. Whenever I have friends over, and whenever 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: I've had friends over, like growing up, like You're scrambled 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: eggs were always ahead it. And so now all of 20 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: my friends try to make your scrambled eggs the way 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: like anytime they make scrambled eggs, they want to make yours. Yes, Well, 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's so many degrees of scrambled eggs in 23 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: terms of like how much you cook them and how 24 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: you cook them. I make my scrambled eggs rather soft 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: than custardy, but a lot of people like their eggs 26 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: blown away, which drives me crazy. I hate overcooked eggs. 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: And to make softer, creamier eggs, you have to cook 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: them on low heat. Right, Yeah, So to me, this 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: is all about temperature and technique. You can make really 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: great scrambled eggs or you can make really bad scrambled eggs. 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: It's really easy to do. And also one of the 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: great things about eggs is there's nothing that cooks. There's 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: my toast. Your secret ingredient is creme fresh. Well, it's 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: one of my ingredients. Yeah, but that's the secret ingredient. 35 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: It's not it's not a secret. All right, Okay, okay, alright, alright, 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: let's let's go through the technique here head to toe. 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: When I start wrapping breakfast better not all right, everybody, 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: welcome to always hungry. We are. We're talking about breakfast today, 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: but specifically breakfast. We're gonna stay away from the brunch 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: idea because to me, that's a completely different subject. It's 41 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: an animal on its own. Don't you agree totally? Okay, 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you a question. When you think about breakfast, 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: what's the first thing you think about? Eating eggs benedict? 44 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: But that's brunched, Sophie. See, that's the thing. This is 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: the problem with having a kid who grew up with 46 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: a chef as a dad. It's like eggs, Ben, I 47 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: thinks it's not your go to eggs benedict might be 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: my last meal. I know you love eggs, Ben love it. 49 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: It's the hollandais when Okay, when I think about breakfast realistically, like, Okay, 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: you're at home, you're getting ready for work, and you 51 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: want a good breakfast work. I usually work from home. 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean I go out and report in the field 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: and whatnot. But I you know, I edit from home. 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: I write from home. So I do have the luxury 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: of being able to make myself breakfast in the morning 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: without having to run out the doormost days. And I'm 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: really big into breakfast tacos. Really, yes, okay, take goes 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: through that. Yes, I either use a corn tortilla, or 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: I use an almond flower tortilla. Depends. Oh my god, 60 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: an almond flower tortilla. I know. It's so I have 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: to get you out of l a so quickly. And 62 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: then like a scrambled egg situation, do you do? You 63 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: use the scrambled egg technique that your father don't make 64 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: crame fresh scrambled eggs every morning. That's like a treat 65 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: for me because it's really rich. Yea, I know, but 66 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: my feeling is like, if you're gonna eat anything, you 67 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: should do it as well as you can. Welly make 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: scrambled eggs are not as good as you can make them. 69 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean you think about it that way because well, 70 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: because the eggs aren't alone. It's not like I'm just 71 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: eating a tortilla and eggs. Okay, I interrupted do so alright, 72 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: So tortillas, scrambled eggs, go ahead, chopped bell peppers, cooked, 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little onion, a little cheese. So 74 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 1: you make this for breakfast. That's impressed. So good. Yeah, 75 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: and then some hot sauce. That's what I'm really into. 76 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: I love a breakfast taco or on the weekends for 77 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: a treat, I'll add some bacon. I guess you know, 78 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: I grew up eating breakfast and diners in New York City, 79 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: and you know, Greek diners they killed the breakfast game. Actually, 80 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: there's very few Greek diners left in New York City. 81 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: There's been a bunch of articles over the last five 82 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: years about how they're they're becoming extinct. But basically, when 83 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: we when we would cut out of school, like like 84 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 1: I would actually get you dressed to go to school 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: and not go and then my friends and I would 86 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: go for breakfast. It was you know, fried eggs, sunny 87 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: side up eggs or over easy eggs with bacon and 88 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: a side of rye toast, and then you get these 89 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: breakfast potatoes that they cook on a grittle. Yeah, it's 90 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: like home fries with like onions and paprika. I mean, 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: they're nice and crusty. I make those for myself all 92 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: the time, so I I think of bacon and eggs. 93 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: To me, that's my go to. My dad was always 94 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: a ham and eggs person. He loves diner too, he 95 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: loves a diner flag. Yeah, I mean, diners are just 96 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: so satisfying in that breakfast department, and you don't have 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: a lot of that out here in Los Angeles, No, 98 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: because everybody's so damn healthy out here. It's like, if 99 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't have a berry attached to it, nobody's gonna 100 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: eat it. I just think that eggs and breakfast are 101 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: just a synonymous with each other. That's really what it 102 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: comes down to. So scrambled eggs, sunny side up eggs, 103 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: which are fried eggs that are basically, you know, the 104 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: yolks are looking at you and they have that sunny look, 105 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: and then you can flip them and then they're over 106 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: easy eggs or over medium, depending on how much you 107 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: cook them. And my mom, your grandmother, who's no longer here, 108 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: taught me how to cook eggs, and she always made 109 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: what she called basted eggs. That it's actually a great 110 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: way to do it because it's it's kind of a 111 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: chef kind of deal. It's basically the sunny side egg up, 112 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: but you take the butter in the pan and you 113 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: spoon it over the yolks so that the yolks cook 114 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: a little bit and they get a little bit firmer 115 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: and they're basted. Sounds good, yeah, it's really, And she 116 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: and she would cover them. She would take the plate 117 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: that she was going to serve me the eggs on 118 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: and put it on top of the pan so that 119 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: they steam. They get this sort of basted look to 120 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: it sounds really good. I know you don't ever do that. 121 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: I do do it sometimes for myself when I'm missing 122 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: my mom. That's what I That's what I do. You 123 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: know what else I like is I like a piece 124 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: of toast and sliced tomato and a soft boiled egg 125 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: on top. I like that too, So your soft boiling eggs, now, yeah, 126 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: and you get your game is getting stepped up. Yeah. 127 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: My roommate taught me that. Not you really interesting. So 128 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: I have three eggs in a bowl here, and I'm 129 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: gonna have a whisk, and you can use a four 130 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: grow whisk or this is one of the first things 131 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: they teach you in culinary school because you want to 132 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: make sure that you mix the eggs so that the 133 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: yolks and the whites basically become one color. Right now. 134 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: A lot of times what people do to make scrambled 135 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: eggs because they hate the pan off really hot and 136 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: they stir really quickly, and then they have scrambled eggs. 137 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: What I do is I take I take basically three ingredients. Okay, 138 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: the four I mentioned creme fresh as you like to 139 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: call it, which is basically, you know, kind of a 140 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: fancier soury cream. The really nice thing about creme fresh 141 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: is it doesn't separate when you heat it, like if 142 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: you put creme fresh is basically it's like milk with 143 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: some cultures in it, so it has like this tangius. 144 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: What's great about creme fresh is you can use it 145 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: like reduced heavy cream if you're gonna add to a sauce. 146 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: But if you use sour cream like classic sour cream 147 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: for this, and there's a good chance it's going to 148 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: separate alright, So crame fresh is really important. So wherever 149 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: I go, every culture has their own breakfast. Remember I 150 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: took you to Ireland a long time ago, and if 151 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: you go to Ireland and you stay at a bed 152 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: and breakfast or something or a nice hotel, they have 153 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: something called Irish breakfast. It's the version of the English breakfast, 154 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: and it's literally like the buffet on a plate. It 155 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: has obviously eggs, they usually sunnyside eggs up. Then there's 156 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: a grittled tomato on there, and then some mushrooms that 157 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: are cooked, maybe some potatoes, and then what they call bacon, 158 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: but it's not the kind of bacon that we have. 159 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: It's a it's a lot fattier, sounds better. They don't 160 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: serve it crispy. It's a little chellier. That's the classic 161 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: way that they do that. And then it's more like 162 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: ham than anything else. And then one more thing. Do 163 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: you know what the last thing is? This is something 164 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: I tried to get you to taste. Actually, oh my god, 165 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: you did taste it. What do you remember what it was? 166 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: What I mean, it's pigs blood, but I don't remember 167 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: blood sausage, blood sausage. It's classic, you know, and you 168 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: know it's like this black sausage. I was so mad 169 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: at you that day. We didn't talk for like an hour. 170 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: I was opening your eyes to the world on TV. 171 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: I was rude, I mean, was who cares about TV? 172 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: It was like, and you were like, eat this pig's blood. 173 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: I was like, that's not what I don't want to. 174 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: That's not what I said. I said, try this. It's 175 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: a delicacy of yeah. But you put me on the spot. 176 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: It was like I reach, I couldn't say no, that's correct, 177 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: that's rude. Okay, so now that's part of your your experience, 178 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: your life experience. That was actually a really good trip 179 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: when we went to Ireland, we shot We shot that 180 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: for Food Network. It was really kind of fun somewhere 181 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: we have Irish blood running for everything exactly that I know. 182 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's a really great egg dish that you 183 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: can make waves ran cheros, so good branch style eggs, 184 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: obviously a Mexican style dish, you know, like a spicy 185 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: tomato sauce. I mean, everybody has tomato sauce in their pantry, 186 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: but if you took that sauce and put some red 187 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: chilies in it and some cumin, et cetera, really spiced 188 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: it up. It's great to put on eggs and like 189 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: tortillas and avocados and some sour cream and if you 190 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: have some black beans. To me, that's a very hardy breakfast. 191 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: You can really kind of obviously dress that up and 192 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: make that brunch as well. But I think waveless ran 193 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: charos is a good way to go. A little version 194 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: of that is least. I really want to be the 195 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: person that is super satisfied with Greek yogurt and granola 196 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: and some berries for breakfast, but you can't do I 197 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: can't do it, really, I can, but it's not satisfying 198 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: to me. There's not enough flavor. And I don't want 199 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: to add too much, honey, Like I don't want to 200 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: add too much to it because then I feel like 201 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: it takes away from it being like a healthy breakfast. 202 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: I mean, but you could. Well. First of all, I 203 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: do like rerek yogurt. I love it. I like it too, 204 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: but it just doesn't do it for me for breakfast. 205 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Then I'm like, I just kind of want something else. Really, Yeah, 206 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: so you have to have like eggs, like protein. Yeah, yeah, 207 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: I need eggs. So a little bit of creme fresh 208 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: and a little bit of unsalted butter. And because I 209 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: haven't actually turned the pan on yet, so we have 210 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: the creme fresh the butter, and then we put the 211 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: eggs in. Okay, and then I'm gonna put one more ingredient, 212 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: which is some pepper. I mean, I use a lot 213 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: of black pepper and my cookie. But if you notice, 214 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: I'm not putting the salt in yet, and I'll tell 215 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: you why. So now I'm gonna turn it on. I 216 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: swear to God with me. My best friend, she's like 217 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: your biggest fan with these eggs, and she was trying 218 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: to tell someone how to make them, except she messed 219 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: up the recipe and told them to put the creme 220 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: fresh in after like at the end. That ruins the recipe, right, 221 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's not that it ruins the recipe, 222 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: and you can get it done that way, but it's 223 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: just that's like reverse engineering. Like you don't want to 224 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: be you don't want to try to have to do that. 225 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a really simple technique. You put 226 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the crame fresh, the butter, and the eggs cold into 227 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: the cold pan, and then you hate the pan up 228 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: and now I'm stirring it. It's got some black pepper 229 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: in there. And the thing about putting the salt in 230 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: now is that for some reason it breaks up the 231 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: smooth sort of kurds that that that are created. Okay, 232 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna definitely put salt in it, but I'm 233 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: gonna put it in at the very end. Okay. Do 234 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: you think breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Well, 235 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you are. So I'm so prompting you 236 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: because i know you've done your research. I know I'm 237 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: a big fan of having breakfast in the morning. I 238 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: think it is important and I think it does help 239 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: you jump start your day. But it's funny because when 240 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: we were talking about what we wanted to talk about 241 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: on this podcast, we were like, is breakfast really the 242 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: most important meal of the day, And so I looked 243 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: into it a little bit and the latest study that 244 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: has been mentioned and quoted in in many articles now 245 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: is from the British Medical Journal, and they've found that 246 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: eating breakfast first is not necessarily making you healthier. But 247 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: don't you think you need fuel to start your day. Yeah? Absolutely. 248 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: It's important to know too that it can help you 249 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: live a healthier lifestyle because if you have breakfast in 250 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: the morning, then you're not necessarily as hungry throughout the day, 251 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: so you're not snacking as much, you're not grabbing things 252 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: that maybe aren't as good for you because you haven't 253 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, fueled your body for the day. I think 254 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: breakfast is important, but you're not necessarily living a healthier 255 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: lifestyle by having breakfast every morning. According to science. Yeah, 256 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: if I don't eat breakfast, then I I kind of 257 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: binge through lunch, Yeah exactly. And I think if you 258 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: moderate your meals so that you don't have a giant breakfast, 259 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: you don't have a giant lunch, and you don't have 260 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: a giant dinner, but you have a little bit of 261 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: each one. To me, to me, that just seems to 262 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: be the key. Okay, Sophie, you just look all the 263 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: scrambled egg because you ate the other ones. What are 264 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: you talking about? Your You want some hot sauce? Oh yeah, 265 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: what hot sauses? This is a Chipotle hot sauce from Coya. 266 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Hot sauce is important. What hot sauce do you use 267 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: in the morning? I like cholula. Oh my god, this 268 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: smells amazing. Well do you know what you're smelling? It's 269 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: the smokiness. So obviously there's all kinds of hot sauces. 270 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: The hot sauces a big debate. Actually, what do you mean? 271 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: I feel like my friends in l A don't do Tabasco. Well, 272 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: not Tabasco fans. Tabasco. Tabasco is probably the most well 273 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: known hot sauce of all time. But the thing about 274 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: Tabasco is that it's a very sort of single note flavor. 275 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: It's got that red pepper flavor and vinegar. That's really 276 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: what you're tasting a lot of vinegar. Yeah, it's very 277 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: vinegar based. And there's a lot of other hot sauces 278 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: that now have they've really become part of the sauce 279 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: line because they're balanced, and you know, they have things 280 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: like fruits in them, like mangoes or papayas or peaches 281 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: or you know, something like that. Then there's, of course 282 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: there's definitely some acid, you know, usually some sort of 283 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: vinegar to help preserve it and give it that sort 284 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: of bite. And then there's some kind of chilies, and 285 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: it varies from something that's you know in the more 286 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: milder department, like a halopeno up to a Serrano to 287 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: hab a narrow. And now people are using these ghost peppers, 288 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: which frankly, oh, I can't do that. They should be illegal. 289 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, like, I know, there's some chili 290 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: heads out there that are just insane for these ghost peppers. 291 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: That's it blows your head off. I always say, like 292 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: I I use chili peppers for accent, not for injury, 293 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: and ghost peppers, I'm just getting past habannaro because that's 294 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: a hot pepper two, but like the ghost peppers just nuts. 295 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: I mean that we might have to have a whole 296 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: show based on banning the ghost Pepper from the world 297 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: so people don't get hurt. So right now, all I'm 298 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: doing is I'm stirring the whole time. Well, you don't 299 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: have to stir the whole time. The goal here is 300 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: that you want a creamy, custody texture. Okay, so it 301 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: got though. We had a scrambled egg dish that was 302 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: for dinner. When I first put it on the menu, 303 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: was like, no one is going to order this, because 304 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: who's gonna order like scrambled eggs at nine o'clock at night? 305 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: Well I was wrong, um, And And it's this technique 306 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: of scrambling the eggs and then we marble in a 307 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: mesco sauce which is basically Spain's answer to pesto, but 308 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: it's a red sort of paste with like tomatoes and 309 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: chilies and almonds, et cetera, and then toasted almonds on top, 310 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: and then a goat cheese kind of run through the eggs. 311 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: Really really good. Okay, you can see the eggs are 312 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: starting to you know, come together, yes, exactly. And I'm 313 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: just you know, constantly just kind of stirring here. The 314 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: keys just good scrambled eggs is understanding temperature, because what 315 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: happens with eggs is all of a sudden they're raw 316 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: and then you blink in they're cooked. And you have 317 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: to remember now the pan is hot, so until you 318 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: take the eggs out of the pan, they're going to 319 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: continue to cook, even if it's off the heat. You 320 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: don't want that to happen because then they're gonna get 321 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: the eggs will get overcooked. You can see it's starting, yeah, 322 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: starting to form some curds because your mouth starting to water. 323 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: That's a little bit. And now I'm going to add 324 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of salt. Okay, I'm gonna give it 325 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: one quick stir, and I'm taking him out of the pan. 326 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: See if I leave these in the pan, but they're not, 327 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: you're not. But see you can see that like a 328 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: little bit that I've left in the pan, that's gonna 329 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: keep cooking already.
