Melt butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, tilting pan to coat bottom; pour in egg mixture.

Cook, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue cooking until eggs are set but still moist (do not stir constantly).
