Step 4: Watch for Doneness
The eggs are ready when they form soft, creamy curds that still appear slightly glossy and moist.
Avoid cooking until completely dry, as the eggs will continue to cook after being removed from the heat.
Step 5: Finish with Butter
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly underdone. Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter and any fresh herbs, stirring gently until the butter melts into the eggs.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Kitchen Tip: Adding the final bit of butter at the end helps create a smooth, rich finish while preventing overcooking.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Transfer the eggs to a warm plate right away. Serve while soft, fluffy, and hot.
