Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform in color and slightly frothy.
- Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely until it coats the bottom of the pan. Do not let the butter brown.
- Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
- Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edge toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
- Continue this gentle pushing and folding motion every few seconds. Keep the heat low.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly wet and glossy, remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them to a creamy consistency.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, add 1 teaspoon of cold water instead of milk and whisk until slightly bubbly.
- For a creamier result, use heavy cream and cook slower, stirring constantly once the eggs start to set.
- If adding cheese, stir it in during the last 30 seconds of cooking, just before removing from the heat.
