Start by toasting some bread in a skillet.

Add a little bit of water (about 1 tablespoon) to the skillet to preheat it.

As the water evaporates, it helps regulate the pan temperature for cooking the eggs.

Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing about 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with water.

Whisk the cold butter (cut into cubes) into the eggs in a bowl.

Add 4 eggs, a tablespoon of water, some salt, and the cornstarch slurry to the bowl and mix well.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the water has evaporated.

Add butter to the skillet and let it bubble, swirling to coat the pan.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook without stirring for a moment.

As the eggs start to set, stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet.

Continue to stir gently, ensuring the eggs cook evenly and remain tender.

Remove the eggs from the heat before they are fully set, as they will continue to cook off the heat.
