Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the whole milk. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute or until the edges begin to set.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently pull the cooked outer edges towards the center of the pan, allowing uncooked eggs to flow towards the edges. Continue to gently scrape and fold the eggs until they are mostly cooked through but still appear slightly moist, for about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Season the eggs by sprinkling fresh black pepper evenly across the surface. Fold in the chopped chives gently to incorporate them into the eggs.
Step 6
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still soft. Be careful not to overcook, as this can lead to dry eggs.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife, slice the eggs into thin strips, approximately 1/2-inch wide.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium egg strips warm, accompanied by whole-grain toast or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
