Have you ever found yourself zoning out and daydreaming about Jeff Goldblum whipping up a plate of eggs wearing nothing but an apron? If you somehow answered "no," that's certainly about to change.

The Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom [2] actor and certified heartthrob [3] recently partook in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" conversation [4], answering fan questions about everything from his favourite book (spoiler alert: it's The Great Gatsby) to what he does in his free time (he plays a lot of piano, ICYMI). One Reddit user chose to ask Jeff how he cooks his eggs, and the 65-year-old father of two [5] responded with quite the uneggspected answer (sorry, I couldn't resist).

"Ooooh! I'd like to say shirred, but I don't even know what that is, it just sounds exotic," Jeff joked. He continued, "Really, I crack them in the pan and then just drag them around. I think it's called . . . 'scrambled and rustic,' then I like to mix some shredded cheese in them." That's right — Chef Jeff doesn't waste his time with any pesky mixing bowls or whisks. He simply cracks those shells directly above a pan and gets down to cooking.

Jeff echoed this same approach to making eggs in a recent episode of Bon Appétit's Foodcast [7], explaining that he "drags" the yolk around with a wooden spoon so "they become a little white and a little yellow — not all whipped up." He added, "I can get a little squeamish when they're less done," likely referring to the popular "soft scramble" method [8]. Same, Jeff, same.

Well, there you have it folks. Raise your hand if you're ditching your usual egg-preparing techniques [9] in favour of Jeff's way!
