Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the milk or heavy cream. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously with a fork or whisk until fully combined and the mixture appears slightly frothy. This will help create fluffy eggs.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Once the butter has fully melted and is slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir and push the eggs across the pan in a slow, sweeping motion. This helps create creamy curds as the eggs cook.
Continue stirring and folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny. Remove the pan from the heat; the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
