From Ina Garten to Gordon Ramsay, it seems like every celebrity chef — and even home cooks — has their own style of scrambled eggs. Yes, they all call for beaten eggs cooked in a pan, but there are countless subtle variations and techniques that can change how your scrambled eggs turn out.
Whisked directly in the pan, whisked before going into the pan, adding a splash of water, stirring in chunks of butter, slowly stirring over low heat, quickly folding over high heat — you name a method for making scrambled eggs, and I’ve probably tried it.
As an egg aficionado — seriously, this ingredient makes up about 30% of my weekly protein intake — I’m always game to try a new approach for preparing one of my favorite foods. Unlike most of the techniques I test, the most recent scrambled egg tip to come across my radar isn’t the invention of a professional chef. Instead, it’s from social media.
In a video that has since amassed over 20 million views on TikTok, content creator Kait (@bussrelate) demonstrates how she prepared eggs that star the best of both worlds: the tender, fluffy curds of a scramble and the rich, gooey yolk of a fried egg. As she notes in the caption, the home cook “can never decide between scrambled or over easy. This is a game changer.”
