Ingredients · 1 serving

  • 3Egg
  • 1 tbspClarified butter
  • 1 pinchSalt
  • 1 pinchBlack pepper, ground

Equipment

stovetop, bowl, fork, small frying pan, silicone spatula, measuring spoon, serving plate

Instructions

  1. Set Up

    Gather and measure the eggs, butter, salt, and pepper; set a bowl, fork, small frying pan, spatula, spoon, and plate nearby. · 2 min

    What to look for: All ingredients measured and tools ready beside the stove.

  2. Season Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the bowl, add salt and black pepper, then beat just until yolks and whites are loosely combined. · 1 min

    What to look for: The eggs look streaky yellow, not foamy.

  3. Melt Butter

    Melt the clarified butter in the pan over medium-low heat until it looks glossy but does not brown or smoke. · 2 min

    What to look for: The butter is fully liquid and shimmering gently.

  4. Stir Curds

    Pour in the eggs and stir gently with the spatula, sweeping from the edges to the centre as soft curds begin to form. · 3 min

    What to look for: Small, tender curds form while some egg remains glossy.

  5. Finish Off Heat

    Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs still look slightly wet; keep folding for 30 seconds so residual heat finishes them. · 1 min

    What to look for: The curds are creamy, soft, and faintly shiny.

  6. Serve Immediately

    Serve the jajecznica immediately on a warm plate, when the curds are creamy, delicate, and still faintly glossy. · 1 min

    What to look for: The eggs hold soft curds without looking dry.
