    I stopped whipping on advice from Sten Ekberg. Whipping breaks the nutrition of the yolks. His KETO scramble: crack eggs in a mildly hot butter (no mix ins). Stir the whites around the yolks until semi cooked through. Turn off heat and pierce the yolks and skowly/gently stir into the egg whites. Just cook until blended, serve. Keeps the yolk taste and protein at maximum, yummy. Once I mastered the consistency I've added cheese toppings, goat is fantastic or nutritional yeast toward the end. I cook chorizo the same way. Push the 4 minute cooked meat aside and move the pan 1/2 off the heat, it keeps cooking for the next munutes while eggs are added, put in a pat of butter on the empty half of the pan, crack in the eggs and do the KETO scramble until blended,, then mix in the chorizo. = one pan, no mess. Only bad thing, doesn't do omelets very well, falls apart, but I spread the toppings in anyway. = deconstructed omelet, tastes the same, and i figured out how to "roll" it out of the pan into a sort of omelet shape.

    @@Glacier_Noir I'm guilty of being my mother's child in that I don't really do measurements. Honestly, for two eggs, I stick a fork in the yogurt tub (since I'm whipping the eggs with a fork, anyway) and pull out a heaping forkful, which amounts to a slightly overflowing tablespoon. (I ran out to the kitchen and measured for you, so I'd know.) So, I guess for four eggs, you'd use two heaping forksful.

    I don’t add either to the eggs, but I do put a small amount of water in the pan with butter and turn it on. When the water is simmering I add the eggs. This prevents the pan from over heating and fluffs the eggs nicely. They are not watery at all.
