Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the whole milk. Whisk the eggs and milk together until fully blended and slightly frothy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, leading to fluffier eggs.
Step 2
Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt slowly but ensure it doesn't brown.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour in the egg mixture. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue to do this in a slow, sweeping motion, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan.
Step 5
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny. Remove the skillet from the heat as the residual heat will continue cooking the eggs, preventing them from becoming dry or overcooked.
Step 6
Season the scrambled eggs with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives and parsley for added flavor and garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately for the best texture and taste. Enjoy your low sodium scrambled eggs with a slice of whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
