## Instructions
### 1. Crack and whisk
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of milk or cream if desired. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk well until the yolks and whites are fully blended and the mixture is slightly frothy — this step is key for fluffiness.
### 2. Melt the butter
Heat a nonstick skillet over **low to medium-low heat**. Add the butter and let it melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan.
### 3. Add the eggs

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds — then gently stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Use slow, sweeping motions across the pan, occasionally pausing to let the eggs set.
### 4. Stir gently and slowly
Continue stirring gently, folding the eggs from the edges inward. The curds should form slowly and stay soft. Don’t rush it — low heat is the secret to creamy, custardy scrambled eggs.
### 5. Pull them early
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy and just a bit underdone, remove the pan from heat. Residual heat will finish the cooking perfectly.

### 6. Serve immediately
