Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Add whole milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs.
Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined with the milk and seasonings.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat on the stove.
Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges into the center, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until they are creamy and just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat slightly before the eggs are completely cooked, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
Sprinkle the scrambled eggs with chopped chives for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm.
