Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chives or green onions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk.

Step 2

Using a whisk or fork, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Step 5

Allow the edges of the eggs to set slightly, about 10-15 seconds.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, forming soft curds.

Step 7

Continue to gently stir the eggs occasionally until they are mostly cooked, but still slightly runny.

Step 8

Sprinkle the ground paprika and black pepper over the eggs.

Step 9

Stir the eggs gently to distribute the spices evenly, then remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 10

Let the eggs rest for about 30 seconds, allowing the residual heat to finish cooking them to a soft, creamy texture.

Step 11

Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with chopped chives or green onions.
