  • Heat a pan on medium low and add 1 tsp cooking oil. Spread the oil evenly and wipe away the excess with kitchen paper to ensure a smooth surface without heatspots. Pour the egg into the pan and swirl it around to make a thin even layer. If using a small pan, you might need to make multiple batches to keep it thin.
