Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and beat them lightly with a whisk or fork.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a medium, non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit untouched for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the edges start to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center of the skillet, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Repeat this process as the eggs cook, avoiding over-stirring to maintain fluffy curds.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are softly set and slightly creamy. Remove the pan from heat slightly before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Serve immediately while hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives if desired.
