Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Step 2
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are well-blended and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter.
Step 5
As the butter melts and begins to foam, swirl it around the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 7
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the bottom to set slightly.
Step 8
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edge to the center, folding them over to form soft curds.
Step 9
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked; the residual heat will finish the cooking process.
Step 11
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the scramble.
Step 12
Serve immediately with your choice of toast or breakfast sides.
