🛒 Things You Need
| Ingredient / Tool | Notes |
| Large eggs | 3–4 per serving |
| Milk or cream (optional) | A splash, for added richness |
| Seasoning spices | To taste (salt, pepper, paprika, etc.) |
| Butter or oil | Enough to coat the pan (butter preferred) |
| Non-stick frying pan | 1 |
| Spatula | For stirring |
| Bowl and fork | For whisking |
Directions
1. Crack and Beat the Eggs
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a fork until yolks and whites are combined.
- Add a pinch of salt and a splash of milk or cream if you like extra creaminess.
2. Heat the Pan
- Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Melt about ½ tablespoon of butter, making sure it coats the surface (don’t let it brown).
3. Cook the Eggs
- Pour the eggs into the pan and let them sit for 20 seconds without stirring.
- Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are soft and just set (about 2–3 minutes).
4. Finish Cooking
- Remove the pan from the heat before the eggs look completely done.
- The residual heat will finish cooking them, keeping them creamy and tender.
💡 Useful Advice
- Cook slowly over low heat to avoid dry, rubbery eggs.
- Butter adds the best flavor, but oil works if you’re avoiding dairy.
- Stir gently and often for even cooking and a silky texture.
🌟 Tips & Tricks
- Add-ins: Cheese, herbs, bacon, or sautéed vegetables make great additions—stir them in during the last minute.
- Season smartly: Add salt near the end to prevent watery eggs.
- Let them rest: A short rest after cooking helps the eggs set while staying soft.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
- On Toast: Spread on buttered toast and top with avocado slices.
- Breakfast Burrito: Wrap in a tortilla with cheese, salsa, and avocado.
- With Vegetables: Pair with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes.
