Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk and salt.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. This step helps incorporate air, making the eggs fluffier.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt slowly, spreading it evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds until the edges start to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push and fold the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this process, working in slow, gentle motions to create soft curds.
Remove the eggs from the heat when they are mostly set but still slightly shiny and moist. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
