Continue folding every 20–30 seconds as curds form. This takes 3–5 minutes.
4. Remove Before They’re “Done”
When eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy and wet, remove from heat.
⚠️ They’ll continue cooking off the burner!
5. Season & Serve Immediately
Transfer to warm plates.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Top with fresh herbs (chives, parsley), grated cheese, or a dab of crème fraîche if desired.

❤️ The Heart of the Dish
“Perfect scrambled eggs aren’t about technique alone—they’re about presence.”
This is cooking as meditation: slow, attentive, and kind. You’re not just feeding the body—you’re honoring the moment.
So crack those eggs, lower the flame, and stir with care. Because the best breakfasts aren’t rushed—they’re soft, simple, and made with love.
