đ¸ Step 3: Pour & Wait
Pour in the eggs. Wait 10â15 secondsâlet the eggs just barely start to set around the edges. This initial patience prevents overcooking and builds that custard-like texture.
đ¸ Step 4: Stir Gently and Continuously
Using a silicone spatula, begin to stir slowly and gently in small circular or figure-eight motions. Donât rush. The key is gentle heat and motion. Fold the eggs occasionally from the edges into the center.
đ¸ Step 5: Remove from Heat (Before Theyâre Done)
When the eggs are about 85â90% cookedâstill a bit glossy and softâremove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.
đ¸ 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.
