Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them vigorously until fully combined. Mix in the milk or heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnish.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and gently coat the pan, but do not let it brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a silicone spatula, stir the eggs gently and continuously in a figure-eight motion, scraping the edges of the pan to ensure even cooking.
When the eggs begin to thicken and form curds, reduce the heat to low. Continue stirring until the eggs are soft, creamy, and just barely set. Avoid overcooking as the residual heat will finish cooking them.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to plates immediately to prevent them from overcooking in the hot pan.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve hot. Enjoy with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides!
