I Tried The Viral ‘Frambled Eggs’, And They’re My New Favourite Lunch

What are “frambled” eggs? 

The name is a portmanteau of “fried” and “scrambled”. 

Kait, the apparent originator of “frambled eggs”, made them by beginning to scramble some eggs in a hot pan and then accidentally leaving a yolk intact.

Deciding to leave it rather than mix the golden centre in with the rest of the dish, she kept it; creamy scrambled eggs acted as a richer “white” surrounding the runny centre.

The TikTok creator, however, didn’t name “frambled eggs” – that honour goes to commenter @bunnymuffintime, who wrote, “omg… a frambled egg”. 

“Didn’t even know this was an option,” another commenter shared underneath the viral clip, which has racked up 1.3 million likes and over 20 million views as of the time of writing. 

What does a frambled egg taste like? 

It’s more about the texture than the flavour – runny, golden yolk gives way to a creamy scrambled base.

The yolk crisps up a little more than the scrambled part, too, which makes another nice texture contrast. 

I had mine on some avocado, but it’s great on its own too; if you want the creaminess of scrambled eggs and the runniness of fried eggs, I can’t recommend it enough.
