Ingredients

Using 1 tablespoon of milk, half-and-half or water for each egg, beat

Directions

1
Crack eggs into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of milk, half-and-half, or water per egg.
2
Whisk eggs and liquid vigorously with a fork or wire whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
3
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of margarine or butter.
5
Wait until the fat is hot and begins to sizzle, then pour in the egg mixture.
6
Let the eggs sit for a few seconds until the bottom starts to set.
7
Using a spatula, gently lift the cooked edges and push them toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the hot bottom.
8
Continue this process slowly, avoiding constant stirring, to create soft, creamy curds.
9
Remove from heat when eggs are thickened but still slightly moist and glossy.
10
Serve immediately while hot and fluffy.
