Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the low-fat milk. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and the eggs have small bubbles.
Finely chop the fresh chives, parsley, and thyme. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit, without stirring, for about 30 seconds until it begins to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this method, allowing the eggs to cook slowly.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the chopped fresh herbs and ground black pepper. Gently fold the herbs into the eggs.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs reach your desired consistency (typically a few minutes for softly set eggs).
Remove the skillet from heat and immediately transfer the eggs to a plate to prevent further cooking.
Serve the scrambled eggs warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
