Ingredients
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk, cream, or water (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon butter (or oil, for cooking)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Crack and Whisk the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl.
Add milk, cream, or water if desired. This step adds creaminess and lightens the eggs.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. The mixture should be slightly frothy.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly. Avoid browning the butter.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan. Tilt the pan slightly to allow the uncooked eggs to flow into the cleared space.
Step 4: Fold and Finish
Repeat the process of pushing and folding until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Remove the pan from the heat; the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
Step 5: Season and Serve
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
