Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of whole milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk the mixture briskly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mix is slightly frothy.
Chop fresh chives if using and set aside for garnish.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter begins to sizzle gently, but before it starts to brown, pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the outside to the center. Continue stirring slowly, ensuring that all parts of the egg mixture come into contact with the heat of the pan.
Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, continuously stirring until the eggs are set but remain slightly runny. Remove the pan from heat just before they are completely finished, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
