Return the skillet to medium low heat. Add the eggs and let cook in a single layer, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Stir occasionally, for the next 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes, to create large curds of scrambled egg. Once the eggs are set, but still look slightly wet (like soft-scrambled eggs), remove from the heat. Immediately transfer to a plate to cool completely.
