The French Secret to Better Eggs

In France, scrambled eggs are cooked low and slow, stirred constantly with a wooden spoon. The result is creamy, almost custard-like curds that bear no resemblance to the rubbery American diner version.

Tomorrow morning, cook your eggs over the lowest heat setting for 8-10 minutes, stirring gently. Remove from heat while still slightly underdone. They finish cooking on the plate.
