Tips and Warnings

  • Be sure you whisk the egg whites enough so that still peaks form but not so much that they become grainy. 
  • In step #5 when you remove the skillet from the heat, do not skip allowing the skillet to cool for 2 minutes before adding the egg yolks. You do not want the egg yolks to scramble.
