Jennifer Garner Loves Ina Garten's Scrambled Eggs Recipe

It’s no secret that Jennifer Garner has a special love for Ina Garten and her cooking. Don’t we all? Last fall, we saw Jennifer obsess over Ina's tomato soup recipe, and for good reason. Who doesn’t love a cup of fresh tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons on a chilly day?

Now Jennifer has a new recipe by the celebrity chef to obsess over: a fancy scrambled egg recipe that will upgrade any breakfast. Garner is so in love with this latest recipe that she even had to make it with the famed chef herself, and we love everything about that.

Jennifer Garner Loves Ina Garten's Cacio e Pepe Scrambled Eggs

Garner recently posted an Instagram reel showing her cooking skills on what she calls her "pretend cooking show." Jennifer whipped up the chef's specialty, cacio e pepe scrambled eggs, to celebrate Ina's birthday.

The whole video is adorable, with Garner adding a few tips for her viewers. "You want to crack the shell here (on the countertop), not here (on the edge of the bowl)," she said, explaining how to help keep shell pieces out of the food you're preparing.

When Garner turns up the heat on the stovetop so that it's "nice and hot," we see another hand come into view, turning the knob down, and a voice says, "Excuse me, nice and low." Ina Garten's face then comes into view while telling us we should "cook scrambled eggs on very low." Jennifer's face is ecstatic as she clutches her hands and exclaims how her "own personal cooking fairy just showed up."

The two continue cooking side by side, being playful the entire time, making it a joy to watch. At one point, Jennifer looks into the camera and asks the viewers if they like her kitchen, only to have Ina reveal it's actually hers we're seeing. 

We learn more kitchen tips throughout the video, like when Jennifer pours scrambled eggs into the skillet, and Ina explains you want it to get "creamy and custardy," which is why you cook it on low. "If you cook it at a high temperature, it gets tough."

Ina says it's best to let the eggs sit for about a minute before you start pushing them around with the spatula. This helps you walk away with super fluffy "big clouds of scrambled eggs." Yum.

Once the eggs are cooked, the Pecorino is added. Jennifer claims the eggs come out "so good," while Ina replies that they are "different from regular scrambled eggs." We're ready to put our frying pans to good use and test this one out.
