Yep, Brown adds a dollop of mayo to his scrambled eggs.
While some people like to add crème fraîche or heavy cream to their eggs, Brown opts for plain old mayo to give his scrambled eggs a creamy texture.

“You’ll never know the mayo is in there until you leave it out,” Brown says.
So the next time you make scrambled eggs, try adding a dollop of mayonaise to your uncooked eggs before throwing them into the pan.

Just whisk it into the eggs right before cooking and watch the magic happen. It'll add a silky texture without changing the flavor, so even mayo-haters won't know it's in there.
