Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into a large cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a secure lid. Add the whole milk (or heavy cream), salt, and black pepper.
2. Seal the shaker or jar tightly and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds. The goal is to thoroughly combine the eggs and create a light froth inside.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt slowly, coating the skillet evenly, but do not let it brown.
4. Pour the shaken egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds to allow the bottom layer to begin setting.
5. Using a heatproof silicone spatula, gently fold the edges of the eggs toward the center. Give the pan a gentle shake to encourage even cooking without stirring.
6. Continue folding the eggs intermittently and shaking the pan as needed to maintain a soft curd texture. Avoid overcooking; the eggs should look slightly wet but not runny.
7. Once the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness (typically about 5-7 minutes total), remove the skillet from heat.
8. Optional: Finely chop fresh chives and sprinkle over the eggs for garnish.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the light, fluffy texture of this unique egg dish!
