Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined, and the mixture looks slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, evenly coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center, creating large, soft curds. Continue doing this slowly and gently across the entire pan.
Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny. Remember, the eggs will continue cooking slightly after being removed from the pan.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives.
