Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk. Whisk them together with a fork or a whisk until fully blended and the mixture is pale yellow.
Chop the chives finely and set them aside. They will be used as a garnish for your scrambled eggs.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely and become foamy.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds to allow the eggs to slightly set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet towards the center. Continue to cook, folding and turning the eggs until just softly set.
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
Season the scrambled eggs with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the top.
Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
