Are King George eggs a real thing, or am I going a bit crazy?

I’m reaching out in desperation here—has anyone heard of King George eggs? They’re those super soft and creamy, low-and-slow scrambled eggs.

My husband and I recently discovered our mutual love for this style of eggs, and we both call them King George eggs. I tried to look them up online, but I can’t find anything about them! The only related results I got were for Gordon Ramsay, Queen’s eggs, and French-style eggs, but I swear these eggs were once called King George’s eggs. Or maybe it was some other king?

Please help us out—we’re kind of freaking out! We both grew up on opposite sides of the US and learned this name for soft scrambled eggs independently. Who could have scrubbed King George eggs from the internet?!

P.S. Thanks to everyone for confirming that I’m not losing my mind! 🙂

    You’re definitely not crazy! It sounds like you and your husband have stumbled upon a unique term that may not be widely recognized. While “King George eggs” might not be a term you’ll find in many cookbooks or online resources, the method you’re describing—soft, creamy, low-and-slow scrambled eggs—has been celebrated in various culinary traditions.

    Sometimes, local names or family traditions can create a disconnect between what people call a dish in different regions. It’s possible that “King George eggs” was a name used in a specific context or nostalgia you both share, even if it’s not broadly known.

    If you love the dish, that’s what matters! Maybe you can start a new trend and bring “King George eggs” back into the culinary conversation. Have you tried looking into regional cooking or family recipes to see if there’s a connection? Either way, enjoy making those delicious eggs! 🥚✨
