Notes
- Make sure to whisk the eggs very well to aerate and add volume, creating lighter and fluffier curds. The beaten eggs should be of uniform yellow color, with the whites and yolks completely incorporated together.
- Cook the eggs at low heat. High temps will make the eggs "seize," resulting in hard, dry scrambled eggs.
- Turn off the heat while the eggs are still slightly wet as they will continue to cook with the residual heat from the pan.
