Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch garlic powder
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk and whisk together until well combined and the mixture is a uniform pale yellow.
Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside.
Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt slowly but not brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit, without stirring, for 20 seconds.
Once the eggs start to set at the edges, use a spatula to gently pull them across the pan, forming large soft curds.
Continue to cook and gently fold the eggs every few seconds. Be careful not to stir too frequently, as that will break down the curds.
Cook until the eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, but the eggs are not dry.
Remove the skillet from the heat before the eggs are completely cooked; they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
Season with a pinch of black pepper and garlic powder. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
