- 1 pinchBlack pepper, ground
Equipment

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
