Place over low to medium-low heat.
Add butter; let it melt slowly until foamy but not browned.
3. Cook Low and Slow
Pour in eggs. Let sit 10 seconds, then begin stirring slowly and constantly with a silicone spatula.
Push eggs from edges to center, folding gently.
Keep heat low—this takes 3–5 minutes. Patience is key!
4. Remove Before They’re “Done”
When eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy and wet, remove from heat.
⚠️ They’ll keep cooking off the stove! Overcooking starts the moment they look “perfect.”
5. Finish & Serve
Let rest 30 seconds. Season with extra pepper if desired.
Garnish with fresh herbs.
Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or smoked salmon.
✨ Chef’s secret: For ultra-creamy eggs, stir in 1 tsp cold butter off the heat—it adds silkiness.
