Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform in color and slightly frothy.
- Place a small 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 spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edge toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
- Continue this slow 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 immediately. The residual heat will finish the cooking process.
- Serve immediately for a creamy texture. For fluffier results, stir slightly more vigorously during the cooking process.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for milk or cream.
- If adding cheese, stir it in during the last 30 seconds of cooking, just before removing the pan from the heat.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle fresh chopped chives over the finished eggs.
