Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (or water, optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk (or water, if using), salt, and pepper.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter begins to foam but before it browns, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, pulling the curds from the edges toward the center.
Continue to stir gently and consistently until the eggs form soft, fluffy curds. Be careful not to overcook; remove the pan from heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will finish cooking with residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with chopped chives, if using. Serve immediately.
