Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the low-fat milk. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and the eggs have small bubbles.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh chives, parsley, and thyme. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit, without stirring, for about 30 seconds until it begins to set around the edges.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this method, allowing the eggs to cook slowly.
Step 6
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the chopped fresh herbs and ground black pepper. Gently fold the herbs into the eggs.
Step 7
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs reach your desired consistency (typically a few minutes for softly set eggs).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and immediately transfer the eggs to a plate to prevent further cooking.
Step 9
Serve the scrambled eggs warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
