Ingredients
- 4 large egg
- 3 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- BEAT HARD: Set out a mixing bowl. Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl and make sure that there's no eggshell in the bowl. Add the half-and-half to the bowl. Use a hand crank eggbeater or a whisk to beat the eggs vigorously until light and frothy.
- LOW HEAT: Set a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Place the butter in the skillet and allow it to melt.
- Once the butter has fully melted, whisk the eggs again to make sure they are as frothy as possible when going into the skillet.
- LIFT THE PAN: Lift the pan off the heat and swirl the butter around the pan. Pour the frothy eggs into the skillet while the pan is lifted, so that its first contact with heat is very gentle.
- MOVE TO THE CENTER: Set the pan back on the burner and use a rubber spatula to gently move the eggs towards the center of the pan. Do this in a circular pattern, from the outer edge of the pan to the center, the entire time the eggs are cooking.
- UNDERCOOK: Once the eggs are 85% cooked, turn off the heat. Salt and pepper the eggs, gently stir again, and move them to a plate while they still look slightly undercooked, about 90% cooked. The eggs will continue to cook as they sit on the plate. If they look fully cooked while they're in the pan they will be a bit more rubbery on the plate. Taking them off the heat while they still look wet will ensure your eggs are perfectly soft on the plate.
- Serve immediately!
