Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously until smooth and pale yellow. Stir in the milk or cream and season with salt and pepper. The dairy adds moisture and makes the eggs extra creamy.
2. Heat the Pan
Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter or olive oil and let it melt, coating the pan evenly. Avoid high heat to keep the eggs tender.
3. Cook Slowly
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit for about 30 seconds without stirring, allowing the edges to set slightly. Then gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan so the uncooked eggs flow to the sides.
4. Form Fluffy Curds
Continue folding the eggs slowly and gently to create soft, velvety curds. Don’t stir too fast or the eggs may become dense. Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are still slightly runny—they’ll finish cooking from the residual heat.
5. Customize & Serve
Fold in cheese, herbs, or sautéed veggies if you like. Plate immediately and garnish with extra seasoning or toppings.
