Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs and milk are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling (but not browned), pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight motion, slowly pushing them from the edges toward the center. This helps create soft curds.
Continue stirring for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs look soft, slightly glossy, and creamy. They will continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
Transfer the eggs to a plate immediately to stop additional cooking. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
