Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg whites from four large eggs if starting with whole eggs. Ensure no yolk is mixed with the whites.

Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until they are set around the edges.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges and fold the egg whites in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked and no longer runny.
