Ramsay suggests starting by trimming the ends of the croissants and slicing each one into four to six rounds. Lightly season the slices with salt and pepper to taste.

For the scrambled eggs, Ramsay recommends cracking the eggs directly into a cold, heavy-bottomed saucepan and placing it over low heat. Add a small amount of butter and gently stir the eggs with a wooden spoon, ensuring the yolks and whites are fully combined.

As the eggs begin to scramble, remove the pan from the heat and use a spatula to scrape the mixture from the sides and bottom of the pan. Return the pan to the heat and repeat the process, stirring and scraping until the eggs form soft, creamy curds. This process should take about five to six minutes, and Ramsay emphasizes not to overcook the eggs, as they should remain moist and soft. Once finished, remove from heat, fold in a knob of butter and the chopped chives, and season to taste.

For the croissants, heat a frying pan over medium heat and gently toast the slices on both sides for one to two minutes until golden brown. To serve, arrange the toasted croissant slices on a plate, top with the soft scrambled eggs, and finish with slices of smoked salmon draped over the eggs for a luxurious holiday breakfast.

Gordon’s Best Advice For Christmas Day

Ramsay offered his “top tips to make sure Christmas Day goes down as a success” in a TikTok clip shared by The Jonathan Ross Show.

“Stop worrying about calling lunch too early. Push it back to 3 or 4 o’clock. That way you don’t stress out and you get to enjoy it as well,” Ramsay advised. Following this practical tip can help ensure a more relaxed Christmas with plenty of time for other festive traditions.

Ramsay also emphasized the importance of making the cooking process a family affair. “The day before Christmas Eve, get all the family, uncles, aunties, and grandmas, to help with peeling the vegetables. Par-cook the vegetables,” he suggested.

When it comes to the centerpiece of the meal, Ramsay reassured viewers not to stress about the turkey. “Everyone worries about that turkey. Honestly, first thing, about 5.30 or six o’clock in the morning, put the turkey in the oven on low, then get yourself back to bed for a few hours,” he explained.

To stay organized, Ramsay recommended creating a detailed plan for the big day. “Get yourself a plan with an A, B, C, D, outlining what to do at each hour of the day before lunch is served,” he said.
