Not seeing the Rogers similarity. Jacques doesn't speak to the camera as if in conversation with the viewer. Nor do I see Bob Ross, as Ross was extremely formulaic in his approach to painting, whereas Jacques is decidedly not, in fact one could argue he's Ross' opposite.
At 4:09 he says somewhat unconsciously "my wife will love egg like this...". this is what cooking is all about, even after all these years he still makes it with heart and to make someone happy.
Sadly, his wife passed, and he actually said "a portion of egg that my wife would love", as in past tense. Still a delightfully sweet man and your message is not lost.
I want to hug him, as well! 😊🤣 Have you guys ever seen him on one of his many awesome cooking shows? He often would have his granddaughter on the show assisting him, starting from when she was very young (around 6-7 yo, I estimate, but not 100% sure of her exact age) and throughout her growing process to become a lovely young woman. It was always very sweet and touching, and you can see clearly how much they love each other…💕 I want to go watch reruns now!!😊 What a kind, sweet man!!🙏🏼😁 He reminds me a LOT of my granddad, who also has French heritage!
Mr. Pépin has been my TV teacher for almost 40 years. He’s a FANTASTIC teacher. Simple and elegant recipes. He’s the best. Thank you for the many years of joy that you have given and continue to give.
You are quite correct, this is a GREAT man...but this is not scrambled eggs....this is a egg mush soup like watery oatmeal....this IS NOT scrambled eggs...Now I gotta shoot a video about how scrambled eggs should be done...not egg soup...

There is another older video of Jaques making eggs this way that I saw about a year ago, and I've been making my scrambled eggs like this ever since. They're nothing short of life-changing. They look runny, especially in this vid, but I can assure you that they're cooked and taste like velvet. Absolutely incredible. Definitely try this if you haven't! The cooking method is a way that Americans are not really used to: low and slow for eggs, stirring constantly, but just practice and have a little patience and it will definitely pay off. So good!
He is my hero. I have learned so much from this great chef through the years. If you have not read his autobiography, you should. It will make you admire him even more! He came up the hard way during Nazi occupied France and his mother was a great cook. They learned to do so much with as little as possible. They wasted nothing. He was also a great athlete; a great soccer player
I find myself smiling when he cooks. He seems like he has a genuine love of cooking and like he’s a good man. I hope so. There has to be some good people left in the world.
it doesn't resemble anything I have known as scrambled eggs. It's very interesting though, and I like learning different methods. Some say don't ever add milk, some add milk. I like to add milk. It's fun to try new things.
Buddy was the personal chef to like three French presidents and has been professionally cooking for over 60 years. Pretty sure his flavour palette and cooking skills are light years ahead of these UA-cam commentators. Eggs this way are pretty good with some buttered toast and a cup of tea.

Me too. My grandma made them beautifully but I never asked her how she prepared them. I just ate them, with some delicious bacon, buttered toast with jelly and maybe some hash browns. I no longer eat bacon and eat my eggs sparingly. But Chef Pepin's scrambled eggs are perfect for a date night or to eat simply as comfort food.
This is why if I'm making a casual weekend breakfast, I feed everyone exactly what they want. And when they're off, I cook my breakfast. It's a bit antisocial, but worth it once a week.

@@barrywonderdog Jacques explained in one of his other videos....cream has about 40 calories per tablespoon while oil or butter has 120.....makes sense why they use alot of cream rather than oil or butter---
I think with all the wine French people drink, it kinda cuts through all the butter they eat and cancel it out. Otherwise they would all drop dead of heart attacks around 40-50. They've found a perfect balance: more butter=more wine.
It's funny how we can go decades cooking eggs so they come out tasteless, on very high heat so they quickly scramble and become like rubber. Low heat, with some water mixed in from the beginning, and constantly stirring, means a much more creamy dish, totally different than the rubbery scrambled eggs we're used to. It takes at least 10 minutes....try it next time!
Thank you, Jacques. Basic cooking skills makes all the difference in dishes like this. I just finished my Saturday morning breakfast but I want to make this recipe tomorrow.
So, I used to make eggs like this for my grandfather and every time I did he would stand in the kitchen and watch me the entire time with his mouth open and say my gosh! That’s just amazing! Most restaurants cook eggs to death and it seems that people don’t really know the best way to eat them. But my grandfather knew how they were good! I lost my grandpa a few months ago but I wanted to say that watching your videos brought back memories to me. Thank you for that!
After all these years, this is the way I have been doing it by accident. This has been a good day for validation! Love JP! I eat eggs everyday. Now I have another recipe.
I make scrambled eggs like this -I too use a pot - not a skillet. Until this morning I never knew to reserve a small portion of the mixture to use at the end to stop the cooking. These eggs are too runny for me - so I will just keep the pot on the heat a bit longer to have them a bit firmer.,.it is a taste thing and no big deal. Love Chef Pépin!
Yeah, this looks like egg soup. I'm intrigued and going to try it anyhow. Will have several slices of toast on hand though in case I don't find the texture palatable.
These eggs are not too runny. As they cool down rapidly they form the perfect consistency, and once that happens they hold their heat. If in two minutes he had gone back and begun picking the egg up with a fork you would have seen how they would be served.
I remember in 1963 I used to go to the Howard Johnson's in Poughkeepsie New York they had the best fried clams there and the best eggs I've ever had till this day
Jacques always I 'm proud of you you are the best in the world I respect you and your cook I would like to say this is cooking that you make with happy .
If you haven't tried eggs like this, you absolutely need to. If you love the rich creamy, taste of egg yolks, this style of eggs tastes like that, but all the way through! Mouth coating, rich, delicious!
There's a lot of people in here claiming that there's only one way to make scrambled eggs and that Pepin is wrong for not doing it there way. You can have a preference, but don't be arrogant and think that your preference is the only way.
When you cook the eggs like this, there is so much more complexity in the flavor of the eggs. I swear it’s like eating a delicious chicken cutlet. It doesn’t have that strong eggy smell. It’s luscious.
everybody's freaking out about "undercooked" scrambled eggs i gotta say, i'm not even a good cook much less what jaques P is but i've done a lot of scrambled eggs over the years and there really is a thing where the goal is to cook the egg to the absolute minimum necessary and it's really good turns out that if you do it right you can get the mixed egg up to "cooked" temperature _without_ it actually hardening into "scrambled" if you go slow and stir it constantly and add the stuff at the end like he does, you get this rich creamy "custard" vibe that's so delicious (and again it's actually fully cooked through) even if you want it firmer there's still the principle of "oh shit i can see it cooking, time to shut off the heat!", that "just barely set" thing is worth perfecting
Exactly. People think heat = hard egg. I did this method and poked my instant read thermometer in, and it was well above 165 while the eggs were *very* runny.
"...without it actually hardening into "scrambled"..." Um, these eggs ARE scrambled. "Scrambled" means "stirred rapidly," "tossed about in urgency or panic," etc.
@@seikibrian8641 That's why "scrambled" was in quotes. I was referring to the "scrambled" type of eggs that most Americans consider scrambled eggs. And taking things literally is probably not a good idea in cooking. I mean, "fried" eggs. They're not any more or less fried than scrambled eggs cooked on the same surface. Or poached eggs. Poach means to illegally catch something, after all. :D Language is messier than trying to scramble eggs with a spoon.
I agree with some comments that it looks like egg soup :D However, if a seasoned french chef says it's good, it's worth trying to see if it's to my liking
I clicked on this out of idle curiosity thinking that scrambled eggs is such a standard thing that there can't really be much to learn about it. How mistaken I was. However, being British it seems wrong to me not to serve the scrambled eggs on top of buttered toast, to balance the squishy consistency of the scrambled eggs with the crisper, firmer texture of the toast. Also balances the protein of the eggs with the carbohydrate of the toasted bread, and vegetable mushrooms, herbs or tomatoes if using.
That's would make the bread soggy which is something we, the French, hate. We would serve fresh bread on the side and I would personally not even butter it if the bread is good.
Being In the military from Marine Field mess to Navy mess decks scrambled eggs were always "chunky" and stab with a fork But after seeing how he did it I'm going to give it try, maybe with some shredded cheese then the garnish on top. And the egg cracking? that demolish decades of hitting it on an edge!
I like firmer eggs when I'm having them on their own, but love a custardy scramble when I'm having them on toast. A really crunchy, golden brown slice of sourdough or a slice of baguette that's gone into a hot oven for a few minutes. The textural contrast is lovely!
Eating this like a dip with small pieces of toasted bread is a top 10 all-time dish for me, it's so sensually satisfying and delicious it's insane how easy and cheap it is to make (not necessarily to perfect, though)

turns out that if you do it right you can get the mixed egg up to "cooked" temperature _without_ it actually hardening into "scrambled" if you go slow and stir it constantly and add the stuff at the end like he does, you get this rich creamy "custard" vibe that's so delicious (and again it's actually fully cooked through)
even if you want it firmer there's still the principle of "oh shit i can see it cooking, time to shut off the heat!", that "just barely set" thing is worth perfecting
Exactly. People think heat = hard egg. I did this method and poked my instant read thermometer in, and it was well above 165 while the eggs were *very* runny.
@@mahna_mahna wow, never tried actually measuring temp but there you go
If your eggs look like they're done while still in the Pan, they are overcooked.
"...without it actually hardening into "scrambled"..."
Um, these eggs ARE scrambled. "Scrambled" means "stirred rapidly," "tossed about in urgency or panic," etc.
@@seikibrian8641 That's why "scrambled" was in quotes. I was referring to the "scrambled" type of eggs that most Americans consider scrambled eggs.
And taking things literally is probably not a good idea in cooking. I mean, "fried" eggs. They're not any more or less fried than scrambled eggs cooked on the same surface. Or poached eggs. Poach means to illegally catch something, after all. :D Language is messier than trying to scramble eggs with a spoon.
Jaques Pepin telling me the correct way to crack eggs is the best culinary advice lve ever gotten.
I tried making the classic french omelette and ended up with this.
Haha!
I really enjoy these videos! Thank you
Julia called in and "More butter!".
Did you ever watch the two of them together? She was sooo mean and critical of him....put him down all the time. It was infuriating.
Kuchnia na poważnie...dawna dobra szkoła. Dziękuję!
Creamy scrambled eggs are the best form.
I love how he always thinks of and mentions his wife .... so sweet.
His wife sadly passed away last December. They were married for 54 years
I love the way Jacque cooks. Simple, quick and delicious. I got some good tips on this one but these eggs are too soupy for me.
ITS ALL ABOUT LOVE, WHAT AN HONOR TO LEARN FROM A MASTER
Jacques actually worked for Howard Johnson's for years! I wish he could teach us how to make those fried clams.....
My mother absolutely loved those fried clams!
The amount of times Jacque mentions his wife makes me love him ben more. He cooks for her. What a nice guy.
Thank you Chef
I agree with some comments that it looks like egg soup :D However, if a seasoned french chef says it's good, it's worth trying to see if it's to my liking
Can't wait to try this... Thank you, Jacques Pépin! 🥚🥚🥚💯
I clicked on this out of idle curiosity thinking that scrambled eggs is such a standard thing that there can't really be much to learn about it. How mistaken I was.
However, being British it seems wrong to me not to serve the scrambled eggs on top of buttered toast, to balance the squishy consistency of the scrambled eggs with the crisper, firmer texture of the toast. Also balances the protein of the eggs with the carbohydrate of the toasted bread, and vegetable mushrooms, herbs or tomatoes if using.
That's would make the bread soggy which is something we, the French, hate. We would serve fresh bread on the side and I would personally not even butter it if the bread is good.
I LOVE that he's still cooking on television/video.
Being In the military from Marine Field mess to Navy mess decks scrambled eggs were always "chunky" and stab with a fork But after seeing how he did it I'm going to give it try, maybe with some shredded cheese then the garnish on top. And the egg cracking? that demolish decades of hitting it on an edge!
I like firmer eggs when I'm having them on their own, but love a custardy scramble when I'm having them on toast. A really crunchy, golden brown slice of sourdough or a slice of baguette that's gone into a hot oven for a few minutes. The textural contrast is lovely!
Jacques, You're the best of the best.
Eating this like a dip with small pieces of toasted bread is a top 10 all-time dish for me, it's so sensually satisfying and delicious it's insane how easy and cheap it is to make (not necessarily to perfect, though)
Everything he makes looks delicious. He's right on with his advice and options.
When you make any of Chef Pepin's egg dishes, make sure to have chives.
....and butter....
@@chasfredricks we any French chef says X amount of butter, you better 2X it.
