Crack 4 large eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the eggs.
Using a whisk or fork, beat the mixture vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet. Let it melt completely, swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface with butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds to begin setting.
Using a heat-safe spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, folding them over themselves. Continue this motion as the eggs cook and form curds.
Once most of the liquid egg mixture has set, reduce the heat to low and continue folding and breaking up the eggs if needed. This ensures even cooking.
Cook the eggs until they are firm and no liquid remains, but take care not to overcook to avoid dryness. The eggs should appear fully set but still soft to the touch.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately and transfer the eggs to a serving plate. Serve hot.
