Method

  1. Crack and weigh the eggs

    Crack the eggs 100 g into a small bowl. If needed, beat them slightly with a fork so you can measure the required amount. Check for pieces of shell.

  3. Melt the butter

    Melt unsalted butter 5 g in a small nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Tilt to coat the base evenly and pour in the eggs before the butter browns.

  4. Fold the cooked edges inward

    When the edges begin to set, slide a silicone spatula along the base and bring the egg to the center. Tilt the pan to fill the empty space with the liquid egg.

  5. Cook until fully set

    Reduce to low heat and fold slowly, scraping along the bottom. Turn off the heat when the curds are evenly cooked and no egg runs when you tilt the pan.

  6. Serve right away

    Transfer straight to a plate so the residual heat does not dry the eggs out. Serve warm.
