Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Crack and Whisk
Action Why
Crack eggs into a bowl Fresh eggs have firmer whites
milk or cream (if using) Adds richness and fluffiness
Whisk gently until just combined Over-whisking makes eggs tough
Pro tip: Don’t over-beat. You want the yolks and whites combined, not frothy.
