Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add a pinch of salt.
-
Whisk the eggs thoroughly until completely combined and no streaks of white remain.
-
Melt the butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam.
-
Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
-
Using a heat-proof spatula, push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked liquid to flow into the gaps.
-
Continue pushing and folding the eggs gently until they are mostly set but still slightly moist.
-
Remove from the heat while they are still slightly undercooked, as they will continue to firm up on the plate.
