Step 3: Cook the Eggs
-
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
-
Let them sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
-
Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula, letting uncooked eggs flow into the cleared space.
Step 4: Fold and Finish
-
Continue folding gently until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
-
Remove from heat while they are still slightly underdone.
Step 5: Season and Serve
-
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Pro Tips

Mix in grated cheese, fresh herbs, or sautéed vegetables for variety.
-
For fluffier eggs, whisk in a pinch of baking powder or a splash of soda water.
