Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs, half and half, and salt until uniform, light, and foamy.
  • Melt the butter in a small nonstick pan over medium heat until it coats the pan and begins to foam.
  • Add the eggs to the center and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • When the edges barely set, gently push the eggs across the pan with a rubber spatula, pausing between swipes so liquid egg can set into curds.
  • When mostly cooked with large folds but still wet, fold the eggs into themselves a couple of times.
  • Remove from the heat while the eggs still shimmer with moisture.
  • Transfer to plates and finish with black pepper and fresh herbs if desired.
