Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1½ tbsp whole milk
  • 1¾ tbsp cornstarch or potato starch

Directions

1

In a cup, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until it is free of lumps.

2

Add the cornstarch mixture to your eggs, and beat until smooth. Season with salt.

3

Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat until hot, then add the butter—it should sizzle right away.

4

Wait until the butter’s melted and bubbly, but before it browns. Add the beaten eggs. Wait without stirring anything, until the edges of the eggs start to bubble up (about 3 seconds).

5

Remove the skillet from the heat. Start stirring the eggs, making 1 full circle per second, for about 11–12 seconds. The eggs will have absorbed all the butter but remain partially undercooked. Do not wait until they look fully cooked!

6

Transfer them onto a plate.

7

Season with black pepper to taste and serve.
