Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (or cream)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Fresh croissants
• 0.5 cups Baby spinach (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh chives and parsley. Set half aside for garnish and add the rest to the egg mixture. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Optionally, lightly toast them in a toaster oven or skillet for a warm, crisp texture.

Step 4

In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once it begins to foam, lower the heat slightly to avoid overcooking the eggs.

Step 5

Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds, then use a silicone spatula to gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 6

As the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, optionally add the baby spinach and feta cheese. Fold them gently into the eggs.

Step 7

When the eggs are soft, creamy, and slightly underdone (they will continue cooking after removing from heat), take the skillet off the heat immediately.

Step 8

Spoon the herbed scrambled eggs onto the bottom halves of the croissants. Sprinkle with the reserved fresh herbs for garnish.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the croissant and serve warm. Optionally, pair with a side of fresh fruit or a mixed green salad.
