🔸 Step 3: Pour & Wait
Pour in the eggs. Wait 10–15 seconds—let the eggs just barely start to set around the edges. This initial patience prevents overcooking and builds that custard-like texture.
🔸 Step 4: Stir Gently and Continuously
Using a silicone spatula, begin to stir slowly and gently in small circular or figure-eight motions. Don’t rush. The key is gentle heat and motion. Fold the eggs occasionally from the edges into the center.
🔸 Step 5: Remove from Heat (Before They’re Done)
When the eggs are about 85–90% cooked—still a bit glossy and soft—remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.
🔸 Step 6: Season & Serve
Add freshly ground black pepper and adjust the salt if needed. Serve immediately. You can also top with chives, soft cheese (like goat cheese or feta), or even a few flakes of truffle salt for a luxurious twist.
