Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the milk or cream and salt.
Using a whisk or a fork, beat the mixture until the yolks and whites are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 10–15 seconds, then use a silicone spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft folds.
Continue to gently stir and fold the eggs, ensuring they cook evenly without becoming overdone. Lower the heat if necessary to avoid browning.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy, remove them from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
Season the scrambled eggs with black pepper to taste and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
