Use a Nonstick Pan

A good nonstick skillet makes stirring easier and prevents sticking.

Keep the Heat Low

Slow cooking creates soft, creamy eggs. High heat creates tough eggs.

Do Not Overcook

Remove the eggs while they still look slightly moist.

Whisk Well

Adding air during whisking helps create a lighter texture.

Add Salt at the Right Time

Seasoning before cooking helps enhance the flavor.

Use Fresh Eggs

Fresh eggs usually provide better flavor and texture.
