Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are well-blended and the mixture is smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter.
As the butter melts and begins to foam, swirl it around the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the bottom to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edge to the center, folding them over to form soft curds.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked; the residual heat will finish the cooking process.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the scramble.
Serve immediately with your choice of toast or breakfast sides.
