Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • a pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp butter

Steps

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the milk and a pinch of salt, then whisk until blended and a little foamy.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

  4. 4

    Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds without stirring.

  5. 5

    Gently push the eggs from the edges into the middle with a spatula, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows to the edges.

  6. 6

    Keep folding gently until the eggs are just set but still soft and a little glossy, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat right away (they keep cooking from the heat of the pan) and serve warm.

Kids can help with:

  • Cracking the eggs into a bowl (with supervision)
  • Whisking the eggs and milk together
  • Sprinkling in the pinch of salt

Tips & Notes

  • Take the pan off the heat a little before the eggs look fully done - they'll finish cooking from residual heat and stay soft.
  • Low and slow heat makes fluffier eggs than a hot pan.
