  • Feel free to not call me a good chef as well.

  • Come on, come on.

  • 30 episodes in.

  • Right, welcome to Scrambled, where I'm cooking my favourite breakfast dish, you know that, is scrambled eggs.

  • And today I'm cooking with a quadruple threat, because not only is she an actress, a singer, a producer, and rumour has it, a talented chef.

  • Please welcome the amazing Selena Gomez.

  • Hello.

  • Thanks for having me.

  • Right, you ready?

  • Yes.

  • Season three, four?

  • Three.

  • Three. Go back to the beginning.

  • No, I'm four.

  • But how good have you become?

  • I've been decent.

  • I would say I've gotten a little better, but I'm nowhere near your status, chef.

  • I hope not. I'll be out of a job.

  • Breakfast, what's your favourite thing to eat at breakfast?

  • It depends.

  • I like a nice, you know, breakfast sandwich, or a little, like, taco, burrito.

  • Right.

  • I remember being on my arse at the age of 22 in the middle of Paris, and I learned to make the most amazing scrambled egg.

  • Really?

  • So I'm going to elevate this thing into a sort of scrambled egg, turkey, beautiful bun.

  • Okay.

  • And it's like a breakfast, but sometimes I have it for lunch as well.

  • All right.

  • How do you make your scrambled eggs?

  • Please don't mention Mike.

  • No.

  • No, good.

  • No, not at all.

  • No, because last time I asked somebody that, they said they stick in the microwave for two minutes.

  • No.

  • You can do that?

  • No, no, please don't.

  • Don't do that. Don't do that. Okay.

  • How do you make your scrambled eggs?

  • What eggs?

  • Well, a little butter, and kind of just spin it around.

  • Sometimes I add milk.

  • Butter.

  • Okay.

  • Sorry.

  • No milk.

  • Okay, you're going to do the eggs.

  • Okay.

  • So always crack the eggs on a flat surface.

  • Okay.

  • Okay?

  • Everyone goes on the corner, which then puts the shell inside.

  • Right.

  • So flat and open up, and in.

  • There you go.

  • Good.

  • So let's start off with, let's go six eggs.

  • Okay.

  • Please.

  • And we're not going to season them either, okay?

  • Yep.

  • And I'll tell you why.

  • Because it turns the eggs gray, and there's nothing worse than gray scrambled eggs, right?

  • Ew.

  • That's so gross.

  • So I finish work sometimes, nine, ten o'clock at night, and this is the perfect, what happened?

  • I got a little in.

  • Shell.

  • Did you just say shit?

  • Oh, sorry.

  • Shoot.

  • Please.

  • We're live.

  • No swearing.

  • Good.

  • Go-to favorite snack on the road, what would it be?

  • Probably a chicken salad.

  • Chicken salad.

  • Yes.

  • And working those crazy hours, right?

  • Yes.

  • What don't you like eating?

  • I definitely have a hard time with greens.

  • Yeah.

  • I need to be better with that.

  • Yeah.

  • What about you?

  • Do you know, chefs don't really get a chance to eat properly, because we graze.

  • No.

  • And so what we do is like, sort of eat five times a day, but small bits.

  • Okay.

  • And any chef would be lying, saying that we eat dinner before we cook dinner, because that's just BS.

  • No.

  • Okay.

  • So, you know, you have to stay nimble, right?

  • You have to taste, and you have to perfect, and so if you go into it not hungry, your food becomes lazy.

  • Interesting.

  • So we never eat before we cook.

  • I'm always hungry when I cook.

  • That's for you.

  • Thank you.

  • Right.

  • Eggs in there.

  • So now, about four nice little knobs of butter.

  • Okay.

  • And to stop the eggs from overcooking, we're going to throw in a little touch of creme fraiche.

  • Really?

  • So it just gives that little, it gives it a little bit of tartness, but more importantly, it sort of, it stops it from becoming too creamy.

  • So if you can't get creme fraiche, it's sour cream.

  • Very similar, but just a little touch richer.

  • I love sour cream.

  • Two more little knobs of butter.

  • Oh, okay.

  • Okay, and then we're going to go on the stove.

  • Now, we're going to bring up the heat, okay, and then we're going to come on and off.

  • So come over.

  • Okay.

  • Please.

  • Now, onto the stove.

  • Okay.

  • There we go.

  • Now, we'll just get that stirring there.

  • And so what we're doing now is give that a little stir.

  • Okay.

  • And as it starts to cook, we're going to come back off the heat, and I'll explain why in a minute.

  • Okay.

  • So give that a little stir.

  • Got it.

  • Buns, nicely toasted.

  • That way, they don't get soggy.

  • And no one toasts the top part as well.

  • I don't know why, but it's a bit of a sort of a chef thing where we toast both sides of the bun.

  • That means we can layer it up and stack it, okay?

  • Yes.

  • I do not like when scrambled eggs are burnt.

  • No, nothing worse.

  • They're going to go on, and they can just cool down nicely on top.

  • It's a nice, light brioche bun, okay?

  • Okay.

  • So there we go.

  • I suppose after any gig, you're too hyped to sit down and eat properly because the excitement's constant, right?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • My adrenaline is through the roof.

  • And so what's the go-to naughty snack?

  • What's the one thing that you sort of sometimes...

  • Jack-in-the-box.

  • Do you even know what that is?

  • I get two tacos, two egg rolls, curly fries, and a chicken sandwich.

  • Do you know what mine is?

  • What?

  • That In-N-Out.

  • In-N-Out?

  • In-N-Out.

  • Honestly, that drives me.

  • It's pretty great.

  • Honestly, once I went in there, and I was so freaking hungry,

  • I actually ran around and drove around and came around twice.

  • Can you believe that?

  • What?

  • I know, I know, I know, I know.

  • I do that when I'm drunk.

  • There you go.

  • There you go.

  • Now turkey bacon in, same pan.

  • Now let me show you a little trick with here now.

  • You can leave that in.

  • Oh.

  • Yeah, unlock.

  • So the secret here is you clean that pan, and it's a non-stick pan, okay?

  • So all you do is just wipe that back round.

  • And as they start thickening up, this is where we take it off now, and it continues cooking because the heat in the pan is going to literally continue cooking.

  • So round.

  • So I always go sort of one minute on, 30 seconds off, okay?

  • Wow.

  • So I'm back on the stove again now?

  • Yeah.

  • Good.

  • That's so neat.

  • Favorite country after touring, acting, where would you say one of the most beautiful countries you visited?

  • Oh, man.

  • You know, I actually love Oslo.

  • Oslo.

  • Randomly.

  • I had one of the most amazing nights, and the crowd was incredible.

  • Obviously, I love the UK.

  • Yeah, but...

  • But that's like a given, I think.

  • Yeah, I mean, do you not find the UK wild, though, in terms of the amount of support you've got there?

  • Yeah.

  • Which is incredible.

  • When we're cooking a turkey sort of pate, stroke, burger, it needs color.

  • And everyone gets a little bit nervous about putting color on there.

  • So I start with a little bit of olive oil, and then finish with butter.

  • Do I take this off?

  • Back off again now.

  • And then we scrape around again.

  • There you go.

  • And I quite like it when it's nice and big and chunky like that.

  • Yeah?

  • So it doesn't go too bitty.

  • Got it.

  • So now it's coming together lovely.

  • See how vibrant that color is?

  • Beautiful.

  • So clean all the way down, and continue scraping.

  • And now I'm going to bring over the salt and pepper, okay?

  • Okay.

  • So give them a little season.

  • Now, there's something quite unique about Oslo, though, isn't there, in a way, that everything's just so clean there?

  • Yeah.

  • Do you not think?

  • It's so beautiful.

  • So beautiful.

  • It really is.

  • What's one of your favorite places?

  • Paris.

  • I lived there for three years, so one of the most romantic cities anywhere in the world.

  • Oh, I love that.

  • From a chef's point of view.

  • I've got a dialogue.

  • Oh.

  • Tablespoon of creme fraiche.

  • Wow.

  • Whip that in.

  • And then from there,

  • I want you to come and just slice these chives, and I'll show you why.

  • So bunch them up.

  • Yep.

  • Good.

  • And then take that over to your, over to your bench.

  • I can sit there and literally rest.

  • Right.

  • It's so fun.

  • So you can see how fluffy that is now, can't you?

  • It's so, it looks delicious.

  • And that beautiful creme fraiche at the end just stops that from becoming a little bit too rich.

  • Amazing.

  • Now, from there, bunch up those chives.

  • Yep.

  • Okay.

  • And then just hold the knife and let the knife do the work and just slice down all the way through.

  • Watch the fingers.

  • One in front, two behind.

  • This knuckle protects them.

  • Remember what I showed you last time around?

  • Yes.

  • Don't screw this up.

  • Okay.

  • Please.

  • You need those fingers.

  • No pressure, thanks.

  • You need those fingers.

  • Chefs, over the last three or four years, have done lots of collaborations in terms of exciting pop-ups.

  • Yes.

  • From an artist's point of view, what's been your favorite collaboration?

  • Because you've done so many beautiful collabs.

  • Oh, you know, that's one of the best parts.

  • I have to say, working with Coldplay was a huge bucket list moment.

  • Yes.

  • And I've been a fan of, obviously, Chris's for so long.

  • Exactly.

  • And they're lovely, so that was really great.

  • Yep.

  • And then, in terms of the one you did with Charlie Proof?

  • Yeah.

  • How cool.

  • How cool was that?

  • That's fun.

  • Right, give that a little mix in.

  • Yep.

  • And then again, we don't put it in the bun and then all of a sudden start seasoning.

  • We sort of season everything now.

  • Oh, that doesn't make sense.

  • Yeah?

  • See, that's lovely.

  • Nice.

  • Mmm.

  • Good?

  • Yeah, it's lovely.

  • Yeah.

  • Delicious.

  • A little touch of fresh pepper.

  • Ah, ha.

  • Okay?

  • So, this is a delicious scrambled egg.

  • Everyone thinks scrambled eggs can only be eaten for breakfast, which is absolutely rubbish.

  • In Paris, for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

  • For dinner, we'd go for beautiful wild mushrooms, sautéed with scrambled eggs.

  • Oh, I love mushrooms.

  • And then for lunch, a little bit of uni, sea urchin.

  • I'm looking at that out there.

  • Sea urchin inside that scrambled egg now would just lift that thing to oblivion.

  • Really?

  • On a different level.

  • So cool.

  • Different level.

  • So, we're going to layer.

  • Yes.

  • Okay?

  • That's beautifully done.

  • There's your base.

  • Okay.

  • And there's mine.

  • Now,

  • I always think about how do we build this thing?

  • Yes.

  • How do we create excitement?

  • The first thing we're going to do is get a little touch of chipotle mayonnaise.

  • Chipotle mayonnaise?

  • Is that what you said?

  • That's it.

  • Okay.

  • And just literally there.

  • That's going to give a little bit of heat on there.

  • Okay?

  • Yep.

  • Now, from there, take your avocado.

  • Okay.

  • Okay.

  • And then just literally wash your fingers all the way through.

  • Okay.

  • Okay.

  • And then you just twist.

  • It just releases the stone.

  • And then, very carefully, get your knife and just crisscross.

  • Don't go all the way through.

  • Okay.

  • Just one way.

  • Turn it around.

  • Through.

  • And just be very, very careful with the point of that knife.

  • All right.

  • I'm not going to huff this up.

  • Okay?

  • Just nice and carefully.

  • Okay.

  • And I'll explain why the crisscrossing.

  • From there, a little touch of lime inside.

  • Yum.

  • A nice little season.

  • And all we've done now is we've got the avocado and the chipotle mixed together.

  • Okay.

  • And all we've done then is you've literally just cut up and chopped up your avocado so it comes out.

  • And you sit that on the bottom.

  • So we don't need to take it and crush it.

  • You've chopped it up.

  • And look, it's a really nice way of getting chopped avocado on your breakfast bun.

  • So freaking good.

  • Now, from there.

  • I feel like I'm not doing a bad job.

  • That's good.

  • A little season of lime.

  • Yeah.

  • That stops it from discoloring.

  • Okay.

  • There you go.

  • And then you scrape out with your spoon onto the base.

  • You can see why

  • I toasted the buns to begin with.

  • Yeah.

  • And now from there,

  • I take my bibb lettuce and I just go over that now.

  • And then from there, push that down.

  • Good.

  • Great, great.

  • A little bibb lettuce on top.

  • Push that down.

  • Now, my turkey is yours.

  • Thank you.

  • You can see where I'm going now because it's like this amazing meal.

  • Please tell me there's cheese involved.

  • There is.

  • Right at the very end.

  • Okay.

  • Oh, that looks so good.

  • Just let that cascade down.

  • Nothing wrong with that.

  • Nice.

  • Now, take that lovely layer of cheddar cheese on top.

  • Oh, right here.

  • That's it.

  • On top.

  • And then, finally, one more little spoon of that beautiful mayonnaise.

  • Okay.

  • Good.

  • On.

  • And then, on there.

  • A little touch of rocket for some pepper.

  • And now, through.

  • And then from there, stick goes in.

  • Shut up.

  • Okay, push that down.

  • Now, I like everything oozing out.

  • Oh, it looks so good.

  • And then just from there,

  • I go down.

  • I let the knife do the work.

  • Wow.

  • Another stick in that side.

  • And look.

  • The most beautiful.

  • Wow.

  • Beautiful breakfast bun.

  • One there.

  • One there.

  • Slice down the middle.

  • And have a look at that magic.

  • Oh, my gosh.

  • This is so freaking cool.

  • Mmm.

  • Oh, wait.

  • That's it.

  • Sore.

  • Sorry.

  • Sore.

  • Like I showed you last time with the cushion.

  • I know.

  • How could you forget that so quickly?

  • I did.

  • Amazing.

  • Delicious breakfast bun.

  • Looks so good.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Oh, shit.

  • Holy shit.

  • This is so good.

  • Mmm.

  • Mmm, the chipotle mayonnaise.

  • Girl.

  • Sorry.

  • Ever thought about getting your own TV series?

  • This is so good.

  • So freaking easy.

  • I know you can do that, right?

  • Mm-hmm.

  • Yeah.

  • Promise you that's your go-to, and you're going to make this tomorrow morning.

  • Light, fluffy.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • Delicious.

  • Well done.

  • Thanks so much for watching Scrambled, and don't forget to catch Selena and Chef with yours truly on HBO Max.

  • And don't forget to leave a comment on whose breakfast burger you prefer.

  • Girl, you're getting good.

  • I mean, mine might be good.

  • Good job.

  • I could legit make this, I think.

  • Good job.

  • Awesome.

  • Really good job.

  • Legend.

  • We forgot the turkey bacon in London.

Feel free to not call me a good chef as well.
