Kevin De Bruyne chef's 4-ingredient scrambled eggs recipe in under ten minutes

A private chef renowned for cooking for elite footballers has revealed his method for creating scrambled eggs worthy of a Michelin star. Chef Jonny Marsh, nicknamed ‘The Football Feeder’, works with some of the world’s top players, including Manchester City legends like Kevin De Bruyne (now at Napoli just weeks after leaving City), Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gündoğan.
In a TikTok video, he demonstrates the recipe using just 4 ingredients. Describing the dish as “very niche,” he says that it takes under 10 minutes to prepare.
Equipment
- Pan
- Sieve
- Whisk
- Spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 cubes of butter
- Salt
- Creme fraiche
Method
- Put your eggs in a bowl and whisk
- Once whisked, grab a pan and put the eggs through a sieve
- In the pan with the sieved eggs, add the butter
- Put your eggs on a high heat until the butter is almost melted with a spoon or spatula
- Lower the heat
- Every 30 seconds you need to remove the pan from the heat "until it becomes a nice creamy texture"
- Add some salt, creme fraiche, and beat lightly
All that’s left is to serve it however you prefer. Chef Marsh likes to finish with a sprinkle of chives, though that’s completely optional. He emphasises waiting until the final step before seasoning the eggs. Feeling indulgent, he also tops his with caviar.
Eggs are ideal for our diets and can even help our cholesterol levels. According to Harvard Health: "They are relatively low in calories and saturated fat, and rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and other healthy nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for the eyes, and choline, which is needed by nerves and the brain."
Many people are concerned about eggs and cholesterol. However if you stick to a certain amount, you should be ok. The health experts state: "The general recommendation is to limit your cholesterol from food to no more than 300 milligrams per day.
"A single large egg contains more than half of that amount. The cholesterol comes from the yolk, so many people choose to eat only the egg white."
