Get ready
Gather ingredients and tools before turning on the stove. Wash hands and clean the work area.
Look closer: Keep the hot-pan area clear.
Blend
Beat the eggs, milk and seasoning together in a bowl.
Look closer: Look for an even mixture.
Warm the pan
Hot pan: a capable adult handles the stove
Heat the oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture.
Look closer: A helper can handle the hot pan.
Fold as they set

When eggs begin to set, draw a spatula across the pan. Continue with gentle lifts and folds.
Look closer: Pause between folds rather than stirring constantly.
Check and serve

Continue until eggs are firm and no liquid egg remains. Take off the heat and serve.
Look closer: Do not leave them sitting in the hot pan.
Not quite? Try this.
Dry eggs?
You cannot undo overcooking. Next time remove them promptly once fully set.
Runny areas?
Continue cooking and folding until all the egg is firm.
A little practice.
Next time, notice what changes between liquid egg, soft curds and fully set egg. Ask a helper to describe what they see.
Think back: What told you the eggs were ready to serve?
No score. No rush. Notice one thing that’s easier this time.
