Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat them lightly with a whisk. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Clean and slice the mushrooms thinly. Mince the garlic if using, and finely chop the chives.
In a medium nonstick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and minced garlic (if using), and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and add the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, pour in the beaten egg mixture.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, working from the edges towards the center. Continue cooking and stirring gently until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly creamy. Remove from heat immediately.
Add the sautéed mushrooms to the scrambled eggs and fold gently to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with the chopped chives on top. Enjoy!
