  • 2 tablespoons (optional) Shredded cheeseDairy

Do this

  1. 1Crack eggs into a bowl, not the pan. Fish out any shell with a bigger piece of shell — it works like a magnet.
  2. 2Add a pinch of salt. Beat with a fork until the color is even yellow. That is the whole 'technique.'
  3. 3Put a skillet on medium-low. Medium-low is less than halfway on most knobs. Add oil and let it coat the pan.
  4. 4Pour in the eggs. Wait 10 seconds. Drag the spatula slowly from the edges toward the center. Repeat. Do not walk away.
  5. 5When they look mostly set but still glossy and a little wet, turn off the heat. They finish in the hot pan. Add cheese now if you want it.
  6. 6If they look dry and rubbery, the heat was too high. Next time, lower it. Eat with toast, a tortilla, or a fork over the sink.
