Ingredients
  

For one serving:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper optional
Optional extras if you feel like it:
  • Milk or cream a little
  • Cheese
  • Onion or greens
  • Chili flakes

Equipment

  • One pan
  • One bowl
  • One fork
  • One spatula or spoon

Method
 

Step 1: Eggs in a bowl
  1. Crack the eggs.
  2. Add salt now. It blends better this way.
  3. Beat gently. Just enough to mix.
  4. No foam. No stress.
Step 2: Pan and butter
  1. Heat the pan on low to medium.
  2. Add butter.
  3. Let it melt slowly.
  4. If it turns brown too fast—your heat is wrong.
  5. Quiet butter is happy butter.
Step 3: Pour and pause
  1. Add the eggs.
  2. Wait a moment.
  3. Then start moving them slowly.
  4. Small circles. Soft scraping.
  5. Let them decide the pace.
Step 4: Know when to stop
  1. The eggs will look slightly wet.
  2. Glossy. Almost done.
  3. This is when you stop.
  4. Take the pan off the heat before they look perfect.
  5. They finish cooking on their own.
  6. That’s the trick.
Step 5: Plate immediately
  1. Don’t leave eggs sitting in the pan.
  2. They keep cooking.
  3. Add pepper if you like.
  4. Eat while warm.
Texture Reality Check
  1. Soft and shiny → right
  2. Dry and broken → too far
  3. Watery → too cold or not enough fat
  4. Eggs are quiet teachers.
  5. They don’t shout when something’s wrong.
