  • Stir the eggs constantly. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the eggs to taste. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, ham, sausage, vegetables, and salsa.
