Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 stalks scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about 30 seconds to ensure the egg whites and yolks are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Wash and finely chop the scallions, separating the green and white parts if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, add the chopped scallions to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their aroma.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds to begin setting around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked portions to flow outward and cook. Repeat this process until the eggs are softly scrambled and still slightly glossy. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent the eggs from continuing to cook in the hot pan.
Serve the scrambled eggs and scallions warm. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of chopped scallion greens for a fresh finish.
