Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2–3 tbsp whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until fully combined and pale yellow. Stir in the milk (or cream) and season generously with salt and pepper. The dairy adds moisture for a creamy texture. - Heat the Pan
Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter or olive oil, letting it melt and coat the pan evenly. Avoid high heat to prevent rubbery eggs. - Cook Slowly
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set. Gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the edges. - Create Fluffy Curds
Stir and fold the eggs slowly to form soft, velvety curds. Avoid rapid stirring, which can make the eggs dense. Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are still slightly runny—they’ll finish cooking from residual heat. - Customize & Serve
Fold in optional add-ins like shredded cheese, fresh herbs (e.g., chives or parsley), or sautéed veggies (e.g., spinach or tomatoes). Transfer to plates immediately and garnish with extra seasoning or toppings.
Tips for Success
- Low Heat is Key: Medium-low heat keeps eggs tender and prevents drying out.
- Don’t Overcook: Remove eggs from heat while slightly wet; they’ll finish cooking off the stove.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Whisking adds air for fluffier eggs.
- Add Dairy: Milk or cream enhances texture and prevents sticking.
- Stir Gently: Slow stirring creates large, soft curds instead of small, dense pieces.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using High Heat: Leads to uneven cooking and a rubbery texture.
- Overbeating Eggs: Too much whisking adds excess air, causing eggs to puff up and deflate.
- Adding Toppings Too Early: Fold in mix-ins near the end to avoid soggy eggs.
