Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the skim milk. Beat the mixture with a fork or a whisk until the yolks and whites are thoroughly combined and a little frothy.
Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat the skillet with one spray of non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit, without stirring, for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center, forming soft curds.
Continue cooking, gently stirring and folding the eggs every 20-30 seconds, until they are slightly set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes total. Avoid overcooking to keep them moist and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat just before the eggs finish cooking as they will continue to cook slightly in the residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
