Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs preferably fresh
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for silky texture
  • 1 pinch salt helps break down the eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream optional, for fluffiness
  • to taste freshly ground pepper add after cooking
  • 2 tablespoons chopped herbs chives or parsley, optional
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese cheddar or Gruyère, optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and a splash of milk or cream, then whisk vigorously with a fork until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Place your non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Let it melt slowly, creating a fragrant, shimmering coating in the pan.
  3. Once the butter is melted and just starting to bubble without browning, pour in the beaten eggs. Let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds until they just begin to set around the edges.
  4. Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center using your silicone spatula, creating soft folds. Stir slowly and continuously, keeping the heat low to maintain a silky texture.
  5. Continue stirring gently for about 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are mostly set but still moist and glossy, with tiny curds forming.
  6. If using cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the eggs now and stir gently until melted and incorporated.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat just before the eggs are fully cooked—they should be creamy and slightly runny, as residual heat will finish the cooking.
  8. Stir in chopped herbs if using, and season with freshly ground pepper to taste.
  9. Give the eggs a final gentle stir, then transfer them to a serving plate immediately to enjoy their silky, fluffy texture.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in a small amount of cream or butter off the heat. Keep stirring gently to maintain the soft, silky curds. Serve immediately for the best texture.
