Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the eggs vigorously for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is well-combined and frothy. This step helps incorporate air for fluffier scrambled eggs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the skillet evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow toward the edges. Repeat this process every 10-15 seconds.
Continue cooking and gently folding until the eggs are just barely set but still slightly glossy. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking, as the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates, sprinkle with freshly chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
