I chuckled at the "How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs" with Gordon Ramsay.

Who adds sea urchin and white truffle to their scrambled eggs?

Dunno about white truffle and sea urchin, but I can attest that using good, actual truffle oil on it can be an inexpensive way to REALLY add to the flavor of it.

Agree with this, it's pretty awesome tweak.

I also use a bit of whole milk instead of butter to get a nice fluffy, creamy scramble.

I'm always surprised when people don't use a little milk in their scrambles/omelettes.

Black truffle salt is to date one of the biggest culinary discoveries I've made.

Truffle salt is generally easier to add to dishes than truffle oil (and truffle oil is, IIRC, easier to counterfeit)

That's a joke. Gordon Ramsay's actual advice on how to make perfect scrambled eggs is actually much simpler. You can watch it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUP7U5vTMM0

It's not a joke, that's his exact "Elevated Scrambled Eggs" receipe from the MasterClass:

I stand corrected. That is hilarious!

> "Nobody is putting sea urchin on eggs. What is this?"

Well I don't think they could sell an expensive masterclass for arguably the most simple dish or earth if it was not prepared by Gordon Ramsay using fancy condiments.

It's actually a cool lesson and the summarized version here has it completely wrong. While it is a simple dish, most people's eggs will taste better after the real lesson.

In Italy eggs and truffle is a standard combination, very often found in restaurant near truffle production regions.
