Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Add a fair amount of unsalted butter to the pan to coat the bottom.

Add a little salt to the eggs while they are still liquid.

Pour the eggs into the pan and move them around to form curds, choosing between larger or smaller curds based on preference.

Stop cooking when the eggs are no longer liquidy but still slightly creamy and shiny.

Transfer the eggs to a plate.

Add a little black pepper for flavor if desired.

Spread a little knob of butter on top of the eggs to melt into them.
