Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk together vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, just until the edges begin to set.
Using a heatproof spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to form soft curds. Continue cooking and stirring, lowering the heat if necessary to avoid overcooking.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and fold it gently into the eggs.
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still creamy and slightly undercooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Transfer the eggs to a serving plate and sprinkle the chopped chives over the top for a fresh, herby finish.
Serve immediately with toasted bread or your favorite breakfast side.
