Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional additions: grated cheese, chives, diced tomatoes, or diced cooked bacon for flavor variation
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter or olive oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them cook without stirring for a few moments until they start to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue stirring every 10-15 seconds, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- If you're adding ingredients like grated cheese, chives, diced tomatoes, or cooked bacon, sprinkle them over the eggs as they begin to set.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the eggs are almost but not completely set. They should still be slightly soft and creamy.
