Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the mixture until the egg whites and yolks are completely blended and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, pour in the egg mixture.
Let the eggs sit without stirring for about 20 seconds until they start to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, forming soft curds by pushing the cooked parts from the outer edges towards the center.
Continue to cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places. Remove the pan from heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate immediately to prevent further cooking.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, if using, before serving.
