If you ask someone how they want their eggs, and they say, “FRAMBLED” . . . they aren’t just mumbling because they haven’t had their coffee yet. It’s a real thing, apparently.
One of the latest trends on TikTok is “Frambled Eggs.” It’s a mash-up of fried eggs and scrambled eggs . . . and some claim it’s an improvement on both.
They’re fairly simple to make. You just melt some butter or oil into a nonstick skillet, over low heat. Some people also add a little milk.
Then you crack the eggs directly into the pan . . . and use a spatula to gently break up the egg whites, moving it around the yolks. After a couple minutes, you can run the spatula through the yolks, and let the eggs set.
That’s it. The idea is that they’re less annoying to make than fried eggs . . . but also less dry than scrambled eggs, with more “textural variation” and more of that yolky flavor, since it’s streaking through, rather than fully incorporated.
One of the first TikToks that went viral asks if they “invented something new.” They didn’t, this has been a thing . . . with the name “frambled eggs” or “sunny scrambled eggs” . . . but now, people are just obsessing over it.
(Here’s a video of someone doing it, and an older one from a few years ago. For what it’s worth, some people say kids like it this way . . . but who knows. Kids aren’t exactly known for being consistent.)
