About this much

Adjust until it feels right.

  • Four eggs, or five if the day was long
  • A splash of water, not milk
  • Cheese if there is some open
  • Herbs, leftover onion, a tomato — none of it required
  • Butter for the pan

Play it

A suggestion, not a command.

  1. 01Beat the eggs until they are one color, not until they are foam.
  2. 02Hot pan, butter just past foaming.
  3. 03Pour in. Tilt. Pull the edges. Do not overthink the fold.
  4. 04Fill with what you have. Close it before the middle goes dry.
  5. 05Split it down the middle. Two plates from one pan.

    Whatever was left in the door of the fridge. It still felt like a meal because we split it.
