Equipment

  • A whisk and a (wooden) spatula
  • A heavy weight skillet (pref. non-stick)

Ingredients
  

  • 8 medium sized fresh organic eggs
  • a pinch sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp milk (just a splash)(of choice (but not coconut milk) or water)
  • 3 tbsp softened butter (divided)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl beat the eggs and some salt and pepper. Just to combine the yolks and egg whites.
  • Place the skillet over low-medium heat. Grease the sides and the bottom of the pan with butter (I hold a stick of butter and go around the pan; approx. 1½ tbsp). Pour in the egg mixture and wait until you see the eggs starting to turn from 'translucent' to 'solid white'.
  • Add the milk and with a (wooden) spatula stir the eggs gently for 2-3 minutes. Nothing will appear to be happening. The eggs will slowly heat up and all of a sudden they will become thicker. Now stir faster and continuously.
  • The eggs will quickly get the right consistency. Just before they reach the right thickness, take them off the heat as they will continue to thicken.
  • Stir in the remaining butter (1-1½ tbsp, optional though) and serve immediately.
