3. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist. Sprinkle with pepper.

notes

Light a few candles and pour your favorite sparkling beverage, then relax and enjoy! Substitution Bad basil day? Chopped marjoram or oregano leaves will do the trick.
