    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Pour the eggs into the skillet.
  5. 5
    Stir slowly with a spatula, in wide strokes from the edges to the center, until the eggs are set but still moist and soft.

    💡Low heat and patience: eggs that cook slowly stay in soft, creamy curds, while over high heat they dry out and weep water.
  6. 6
    When the eggs are almost ready, sprinkle the cheese over the top, cover and cook 1 minute, until the cheese melts.

  7. 7
    Take off the heat: the eggs keep setting in the heat of the pan.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the green onion on top and serve immediately with fresh bread.
