They may seem that way to you until you try this method.

You need enough heat to melt the butter and coat the pan, after that -
almost none.

If you think about it logically, bothering the eggs can only break the
curds up and make them tougher as more sides of the eggs hit the hot pan
and dry.

By allowing the eggs to gently and slowly cook crepe style you reduce
that process and allow a far more gentle saute which retains moisture,
instead of losing it.

Give it a try some time, You will not be disappointed.
