Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (or cooking spray)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly with milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the salt and pepper to the egg mixture and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the olive oil or lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds until the edges begin to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the set edges of the eggs toward the center of the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
Repeat the process of pushing and tilting until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly glossy and creamy (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the residual heat of the pan to finish cooking the eggs for a few more seconds.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
