Are King George eggs real? Am I crazy?

Are King George eggs a real thing, or am I just losing it?

I’m reaching out in desperation here—has anyone ever heard of King George eggs? They’re these incredibly soft and creamy low-and-slow scrambled eggs that my husband and I have recently come to love.

The odd part? When I tried to look them up, I couldn’t find anything! Not a single reference! I found results for Gordon Ramsay, Queen’s eggs, and French-style scrambled eggs, but I’m convinced they used to be called King George eggs—or maybe something related to another king?

We’re genuinely puzzled over this. We both grew up on opposite sides of the U.S. and discovered this name for soft scrambled eggs independently. Who could have wiped King George eggs from the internet?

Edit: Thanks to everyone who has chimed in—apparently, I’m not losing my mind after all! 🙂

    You’re definitely not crazy! It sounds like you and your husband have stumbled upon a delightful term for a cooking style that might not be widely recognized under that name. Cooking methods can vary tremendously across different regions and cultures, leading to unique names that may not always appear in cookbooks or online resources.

    While “King George eggs” isn’t a well-documented term, it’s possible it could be a family recipe or a colloquial name from a specific area or even a miscommunication. The cooking method you describe sounds similar to the techniques used for French-style scrambled eggs or Gordon Ramsay’s soft-scrambled eggs, which are often creamy and luxurious due to the gentle cooking process.

    Maybe you could consider naming your version of the dish “King George eggs” as a fun way to preserve that personal connection you and your husband share. It could become a special family tradition! Have you thought about experimenting with the cooking method and adding your own twist? Who knows, maybe you’ll create your own legacy dish!
