Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk if desired (optional for creamier eggs). Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined, resulting in a uniform, pale-yellow mixture.
Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds, until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft curds. Continue this process, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate immediately to stop further cooking. Serve warm and enjoy!
