The video began with Garner cracking eggs and adding the mixture and milk to a bowl. After she started cooking them “nice and hot,” Garten jumped in and advised that the stove should be “nice and low.” Garner added butter, salt and pepper to the mixture and was advised to let it “sit for a minute.”
“Once it sets a little bit, you just keep mixing and you end up with really fluffy big clouds of scrambled eggs,” Garten said.
After waiting for it to get “creamy”, they turned off the stove and added pepper, salt and cheese to the mixture.
Garner included all the ingredients used in her Instagram post and step-by-step instructions. Garten commented on the upload, “OH MY GOD I love this so much!!! Come back and we’ll pretend more!! I love you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
