Instructions Checklist
  • In a bowl, beat eggs to blend. In a 1- to 3-quart pan (depending on amount being cooked), blend broth with cornstarch. Stir over high heat until boiling. Let cool slightly (or cover and chill up to 1 day). Whisk broth mixture into eggs.

  • Set a frying pan (see below for size) over medium heat. Add butter; when melted, pour in the egg mixture. With a heat-resistant flexible spatula, or a wide metal one, push cooked eggs from pan bottom and sides, letting liquid mixture flow against hot pan; for creamiest texture, don't stir. Cook until eggs are firm but still moist and shiny on top (they must be at least 160° for egg safety), 3 to 20 minutes.
