Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 2-3 eggs
- butter, generous (about 15-20g)
- salt, a pinch
- pepper, a pinch
Recipe 🍳
- Crack the eggs into an unheated cold pan.
- Cut a large piece of butter and add it directly to the pan with the eggs.
- Before turning on the heat, use a silicone spatula to break the egg yolks and lightly mix with the butter.
- Place the pan on the heat and stir constantly to melt the butter and begin cooking the eggs.
- When the eggs start to clump and set, immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir using residual heat.
- When the pan cools and cooking slows, return it to the heat. Repeat this process 2-3 times to finely control the temperature.
- Turn off the heat when the eggs are not fully firm but remain moist and soft like a custard cream.
- Finally, season with salt and pepper, mix evenly, and serve on a plate.
- Place eggs and whole butter in an unheated cold pan and lightly mix.
- Put the pan on the heat and stir constantly. When the eggs begin to clump, alternate the pan on and off the heat to cook with residual heat.
- When the eggs reach a moist, soft, creamy state, season with salt and pepper to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- If eggshell gets in, use the remaining eggshell pieces to scoop it out instead of using your fingers—they pick it up much better.
- Adding salt during cooking changes the protein structure of the eggs and releases moisture, so always add salt right after cooking to retain moisture.
- Using a silicone spatula allows you to scrape the pan evenly without eggs sticking to the bottom, resulting in a smooth texture.
