Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium hot sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack 4 large eggs. Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the eggs.
Whisk the eggs and milk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh chives and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit for about 30 seconds without stirring until it begins to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, creating soft folds. Continue stirring occasionally, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Cook until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat slightly before the eggs have fully set as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper over the scrambled eggs for seasoning.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of low-sodium hot sauce over the cooked eggs, or serve the hot sauce on the side for individual preference.
Garnish the scrambled eggs with the chopped chives before serving.
Serve immediately, enjoy your low sodium scrambled eggs with a punchy hot sauce twist.
