Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the milk or heavy cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and stir gently to incorporate.
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly, but do not let it brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds to start setting at the bottom.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center, creating soft folds. Continue this process, moving the eggs around the pan slowly.
As the eggs start to set, reduce the heat to low and cook until just slightly underdone to your preference. Remove from heat; the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate immediately to prevent overcooking and garnish with finely chopped chives or parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
