We looked into the different techniques used by some of the industry's top chefs and food personalities. Here are seven different ways to cook scrambled eggs, as inspired by some of the biggest names in food.

Gordon Ramsay


The famously blunt chef Gordon Ramsay knows his way around the kitchen, and his scrambled eggs are no exception. Ramsay's technique involves whisking the eggs with a splash of cream and cooking them low and slow, stirring constantly with a spatula until they're just set. The result is creamy, indulgent eggs that are absolutely delicious.



Ina Garten


The Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten, has a different approach to scrambled eggs. Instead of whisking the eggs with cream, Garten adds a bit of sour cream to the mix, which gives the eggs a tangy flavor and a silky texture. She also cooks them over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until they're just set.



Anthony Bourdain


The late, great Anthony Bourdain was known for his love of simple, classic dishes, and his scrambled eggs were no exception. Bourdain's technique involves whisking the eggs with salt and pepper, then cooking them quickly over high heat, stirring constantly with a fork. The result is fluffy, tender eggs with a bit of texture.



Martha Stewart


Martha Stewart's scrambled eggs are all about butter. She starts by melting a generous amount of butter in a nonstick pan, then adding the whisked eggs and cooking them over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. The result is rich, buttery eggs that are perfect for a special occasion.



Alton Brown


Alton Brown is known for his scientific approach to cooking, and his scrambled eggs are no exception. Brown's technique involves whisking the eggs with a bit of water, then cooking them over low heat, stirring constantly with a fork. The water helps create steam, which makes the eggs light and fluffy.



Julia Child


The iconic Julia Child had a simple, elegant approach to scrambled eggs. She whisked the eggs with salt and pepper, then cooked them over low heat, stirring constantly with a fork. The result was delicate, creamy eggs with a bit of texture.



Chrissy Teigen


Model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen knows her way around the kitchen, and her scrambled eggs are a favorite among her fans. Teigen's technique involves whisking the eggs with a bit of mayo, which gives them a rich, tangy flavor.

      I sometimes add garden vegetable cream cheese instead of the Gouda cheese or sometimes add both. I never add liquid.

    I read that ice water is a good idea also. I have never tried this suggestion but, I will.

      Many years ago, one of the characters on the soap opera, Search for Tomorrow, made scrambled eggs with water. I have tried it, but usually add a little milk and salt and pepper.
