Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the whole milk and whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit, undisturbed, for about a minute or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently pull the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to spread out to the edges.
Continue cooking gently while stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle the black pepper and garlic powder over the cooked eggs, folding them into the mixture gently.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve immediately.
