Gordon Ramsay is urging people to ditch butter for a budget-friendly alternative to make his famously perfect scrambled eggs.

Ramsay confessed to being "blown away" by plant-based spread, Flora, after testing it out in a range of recipes, saying it gives a rich creamy flavour to the dish.

In a campaign with Flora, Gordon Ramsay said: “I believe in good, honest cooking with quality ingredients, and I can genuinely say, Flora has blown me away. From scrambled eggs to chocolate cake, I have put the product through its paces.

"It gives me the creaminess and rich taste I get from butter, whilst being more sustainable. I would encourage home cooks to make the switch, try it for themselves and see what they can create."

In one of the campaign videos, a voiceover asks Ramsay if Flora is great for baking, to which Ramsay replies in his well-known style: "Is that a serious question? Just look at this f***ing cake."

Ramsay said he wants home cooks to "break up" with bland kitchen habits and elevate their cooking and baking.

He previously racked up 7.5 million views on a YouTube video for HexClad Cookware, where he talks viewers through how to make the perfect scrambled and fried eggs, which he is renowned for.

Jorn Socquet, Chief Marketing Officer at Flora said: “I couldn’t be prouder to announce our new 'Skip the Cow' campaign featuring the iconic Gordon Ramsay.

"This campaign represents a bold step forward in showcasing the incredible versatility and taste of Flora for cooking and baking.

"Gordon’s passion for exceptional food aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation and offering sustainable, dairy-free alternatives that don't compromise on flavour or performance."

Plant-based spreads like Flora claim to have least 75% less impact on climate change than butter.

The ‘Skip the Cow’ campaign has been rolled out globally on TV, Meta and Youtube.
