Ina Garten's ricotta scrambled eggs recipe rivals Gordon Ramsay's

Ina Garten uses ricotta cheese in scrambled eggs to create a custardy texture, departing from Gordon Ramsay's crème fraîche method.
Ina Garten has shared her approach to scrambled eggs, which differs from the methods favoured by other celebrity chefs. Whilst Gordon Ramsay and Bobby Flay add crème fraîche and Alton Brown uses mayonnaise and extra egg yolks, Garten puts an Italian spin on the dish by using ricotta cheese.
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Garten said that cooking eggs at very low heat and adding ricotta creates a custardy texture. 'How you cook the eggs makes such a difference, too,' she said. 'If you cook them at a very low heat and add ricotta to give it creaminess and a little texture, it's just a whole other thing. It's like a custard rather than scrambled eggs.' She recommends adding chives or other fresh herbs.
Garten's recipe, adapted from her cookbook 'Simply Ina', serves four and calls for eggs, milk, butter, olive oil and ricotta. She heats the butter and olive oil over medium-low and lets the whisked eggs set briefly at the edges before stirring constantly until soft and custardy. She suggests serving on buttered toast with chives, Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Like Ramsay's method, her approach relies on gentle cooking to keep the eggs soft, though she folds ricotta into the eggs as they cook rather than adding crème fraîche at the end.
