Cook the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly without stirring for about 30 seconds. Using a spatula, gently move the eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center. This helps the runny, uncooked eggs flow to the hot surface to cook evenly.

Gently Stir: Continue to gently push the eggs from the edges to the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Be patient and avoid constant stirring. This technique ensures the eggs cook slowly and remain creamy.

Finish Cooking: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, turn off the heat. The residual heat in the pan will finish cooking the eggs without overcooking them. Give the eggs a final gentle stir to incorporate any remaining runny parts.
