You’re adding eggs to a cold pan
You don’t want a pan that’s too hot, but much like Goldilocks and her porridge, a pan that’s too cold is also a problem. “Make sure your pan is heated before cooking your eggs,” chef Fabio Viviani, a Bravo “Top Chef” alum who owns two restaurants, told TODAY. “If you want scrambled eggs, have your pan be a medium-hot temperature and continuously stir them until [they] thicken.” If you’re scrambling or frying eggs, add some butter or oil to the pan first. When the butter starts to bubble slightly or the oil sizzles, then you’re good to go.
“For an omelet, it is the opposite. Let the eggs sit in the pan until you see bubbles … then fold,” said Viviani. Your pan heat should be at medium.
