Ingredients
Scale
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon half and half (or milk/cream)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. This incorporates air for fluffiness.
Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely until it foams slightly. Do not let the butter brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edge toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
Continue this gentle pushing and folding motion slowly across the pan. Keep the heat low.
When the eggs are mostly set but still look wet and glossy (this is key for creaminess), remove the pan from the heat.
Stir in the half and half. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a soft, creamy consistency.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
For extra richness, substitute the half and half with heavy cream.
Do not overcook; remove the eggs from the heat when they look slightly underdone.
If you prefer a richer flavor without milk, use high-quality butter and cook low and slow.
Serve these eggs on toast, in breakfast tacos, or alongside avocado.
