Step 2: Heat the Pan
Preheat: Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
Melt Butter: Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the pan evenly. Avoid browning the butter.

Pour: Add the whisked eggs to the pan.

Continue Cooking: Gently fold the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Remove from Heat: Take the pan off the heat while the eggs are still slightly underdone.
Step 5: Season and Serve
Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy the eggs for the best texture and flavor.
