Analyzing cooking steps...
The key to creamy eggs is starting the cooking process in a cold pan with the fats. This allows for gentle, even cooking.
Wait to add salt until the very end of cooking. Adding it too early can draw out moisture and make the eggs tough or grainy.
Do not overcook the eggs. Remove them from the heat while they still appear slightly wet, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat of the pan.
