Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

- Heat the Pan: Add olive oil or butter to a nonstick skillet and warm over medium-low heat.
- Cook Slowly: Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for 10–15 seconds, then gently push the edges toward the center with a spatula. Continue folding softly as curds form. 🍳
