Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon clarified butter or whole butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs like cilantro or green onion chopped (also keep a little for some for garnish), optional

Instructions

  • Egg: In a glass mixing bowl (we like glass best), crack and whisk eggs or beat eggs until they turn a pale yellow color nicely aerated
  • Pan: Take a solid bottomed nonstick pan and use medium heat. Add the butter and a dash of oil and let it melt and bubble, that will tell you that it is hot enough.
  • Cooking: Now pour in the eggs and Do not immediately stir, allow the eggs to sit for about 1 minute or until the bottom starts to set a little bit. Next, take your rubber spatula and slowly push one edge of the cooking egg into the middle of the pan at the same time tilting the pan to let the remaining "runny" egg flow in underneath. Then do that same process with the other edges on the pan and repeat until there's no liquid egg left.
  • Finish: Very carefully using your spatula, lift one edge of the egg pancake and fold it across and over to the middle. Repeat the same process with the other side.  Then slide it onto the plate - you can then top it with what you like - see how to add a filling above.
