People are confused after realising that you can cook scrambled eggs in boiling water

Whether it's on a slice of toast, a bagel, or accompanied by a full English, scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple for many.

While they can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, people are only aware of one way that they can be cooked - in a pan with no other ingredients.

Foodies were dumbfounded, therefore, after a woman came forward claiming that you can cook the tasty food in boiling water.

Azure MacCannell - who boasts more than 710,000 followers on TikTok account @livecomposed boasting her cleaning and cooking content - left jaws dropping after sharing the alternate method on how you can scramble eggs.

Since sharing the video clip, the footage has surpassed a whopping 4.2 million views to date.

The video showed off the controversial method, which seemed relatively straightforward, step-by-step.

"I was today years old when I learned you can cook scrambled egg in boiling water," Azure admitted in the video.

The process started off with her whisking eggs together as normal.

Then, she made a stirring motion in the boiling water, just like you would when making poached eggs

After pouring the egg mixture into the boiling water, which gave the appearance of a whirlpool, it quickly gave the appearance and formation of scrambled eggs within seconds.

Captioning the video, Azure wrote: "It's like poached eggs collided with egg drop soup! Oil/butter free scrambled eggs! Would you eat it?"

Since posting, her video has raked in over 2,000 responses to date - where people flocked to the comment section to discuss the controversial method.

One person said: "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

"What's next frying a hard egg?" A confused TikTok user questioned.

A third person added: "Yes you can but it's not good though."

On the other hand, one person claimed that they were a fan of the method, explaining that they thought it was rather tasty.

They commented: "It tastes good actually just put some onion in the soup for more taste, it's pretty common in Indonesia."
