Frequently Asked Questions

Why use avocado oil instead of butter?

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and a neutral flavor, allowing the natural creaminess of the eggs to shine without interference.

Can I use dried chives?

Fresh chives are preferred for their vibrant color and sharp, clean flavor profile. If using dried, use only a teaspoon.

How do I prevent eggs from drying out?

Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny. The residual heat finishes the cooking process perfectly.
