Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, crack all 24 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the whole milk, salt, and ground black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then pour it into the egg mixture. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the dish and use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, bringing the cooked edges into the center. This helps the eggs cook evenly without overcooking.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the eggs are fully set but still moist and fluffy.
Once cooked, remove the scrambled eggs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Gently fluff them with a fork or spatula to achieve a light texture.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, if desired, and serve immediately. Keep warm in a chafing dish or buffet warmer for serving.
