Pour one portion of the whisked egg mixture (from 2 eggs) into the heated pan. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, letting the edges just begin to set.

Gently begin to scrape the cooked eggs from the outside in towards the center using a spatula. Continue to cook, folding and stirring gently, until the eggs are mostly set but still soft and creamy. Avoid overcooking.

While the eggs are cooking, toast the brioche buns to your desired crispness. You can use a toaster, a toaster oven, or lightly pan-fry them.
