Ingredients

• 24 pieces Large eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, crack all 24 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 3

Add the whole milk, salt, and ground black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then pour it into the egg mixture. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the dish and use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, bringing the cooked edges into the center. This helps the eggs cook evenly without overcooking.

Step 7

Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the eggs are fully set but still moist and fluffy.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the scrambled eggs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Gently fluff them with a fork or spatula to achieve a light texture.

Step 9

Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, if desired, and serve immediately. Keep warm in a chafing dish or buffet warmer for serving.
