Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 slices toasted bread
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional, e.g., chives or parsley)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the whisked eggs and stir to incorporate.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds.
Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center in slow, folding motions, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the pan's surface. Continue this process until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy.
Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Add an additional small pat of butter for extra creaminess, if desired, and gently 'smoosh' the eggs with the spatula to create a rustic texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the smooshed eggs on top of toasted bread or alongside it. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh herbs, if using, for added flavor and freshness.
Enjoy immediately while the eggs are warm and buttery!
