1️⃣ Prep the Eggs
Crack eggs into a bowl.
Add milk/cream (if using) and a pinch of salt & pepper.
Whisk lightly—just enough to blend (overmixing makes them dense).
2️⃣ Cook Low & Slow
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat (don’t let it brown!).
Pour in eggs and let them sit for 10 seconds (no stirring yet!).
Gently push eggs with a spatula, folding softly as they set.
3️⃣ The Secret: Keep It Moving!
Fold, don’t scramble aggressively—this keeps them creamy.
Remove from heat just before fully set (they’ll keep cooking!).
Serve immediately—perfect eggs wait for no one!
