Steps

heat water in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. We want to cook the eggs at just over the temperature it takes to boil water. By boiling water in the pan, we can maintain that temperature and let water evaporate or dump the water once we want to cook the eggs

crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and whisk the eggs together until the yolks and whites are fully combined

cut 1 tablespoon of butter into small cubes and add them to the eggs. They will create pockets of gooey eggs because they will keep pockets of the eggs at a lower temperature while they cook

once the water evaporates, add the remaing butter. The butter should foam up a bit but not brown.

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places

Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper
