Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, ground cumin, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are fully beaten and the spices are evenly combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 10 seconds before you begin stirring.
Using a spatula, gently scrape the edges of the skillet and fold the eggs over themselves, creating soft curds.
Continue cooking and folding the eggs until they are just set but still slightly moist. Remove from heat immediately, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve hot with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
