Ok, so what you have to do is break the egg on the flat countertop. I know it doesn't make sense at first, but it doesnt puncture the shell the same way.

At that point, you can grab the sides to open it and have control of the shell.

Gordon Ramsey has videos about this, and he has a very different method to making scrambled eggs with creme fraise. Let me tell you its excellent, and its not complicated.

First, get the egg cracking right.

And if you cook bacon prior to the egg, you can use the bacon grease to cook the eggs and add bacon flavor to them. 😉
