   Beat together with a fork until combined.

4. 4

6. 6

   Pour in the egg mixture; it should set immediately at the edges.

   Tilt the pan, and move cooked portions as necessary.

   When the top has thickened and very little liquid egg remains visible, spread filling, if desired, along one half.

11. 11
