Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and slightly frothy.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter gently until it is fully liquid but not browned.
  3. Slowly pour the whisked eggs into the melted butter while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent curdling.
  4. Continue stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the finely grated orange zest.
  6. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately over your chosen dish.
