- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and make cleaning up easier.
- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of chili flakes.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly to achieve a uniform texture.
