Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack all the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the whole milk and salt.
Whisk the eggs vigorously for at least 1 minute until fully mixed and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely but avoid letting it brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom layer to set slightly.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center, forming soft folds as they cook.
Keep repeating this process every few seconds, ensuring to scrape along the bottom of the skillet to prevent sticking.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to perfection.
Add the black pepper and gently stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired. Enjoy!
