β±οΈ Time: 5 minutes
π§ Ingredients:
-
4 large eggs
-
2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

1 tbsp butter

Heat the pan

Cook the eggs slowly

Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center.
-
Continue stirring slowly and gently, allowing curds to form.
-
-
Remove before fully set
