Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
- Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Add milk or cream (if using), a pinch of salt, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Tip: Whisking well incorporates air, which helps with fluffiness.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Place a nonstick skillet over low heat.
- Melt the butter, making sure it doesn’t brown — just gently foamy.
Step 3: Cook Low & Slow
- Pour in the eggs.
- Let them sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds, then use a silicone spatula to gently push eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Continue slowly stirring and folding the eggs, pausing between stirs to let them set slightly.
- Remove from the heat when they look slightly underdone — they’ll continue cooking from residual heat.
Step 4: Finish & Serve
- Season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
- Top with chives, parsley, or shredded cheese.
- Serve immediately on toast, croissants, or alongside crispy bacon.
Tips for Extra Creamy Eggs:
- Add a teaspoon of cream cheese or mascarpone while cooking for extra richness.
- Use low heat — cooking too fast makes eggs dry and rubbery.
- Stir gently rather than vigorously to keep big, fluffy curds.
