Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and no streaks remain.

Step 2

Add the milk or heavy cream to the eggs. Whisk again until evenly incorporated for a creamier texture.

Step 3

Place a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt slowly, coating the bottom of the skillet evenly.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 15-20 seconds until the edges just begin to set.

Step 5

Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the skillet. Continue to repeat this motion, folding the eggs gently to form soft curds.

Step 6

Cook the eggs slowly, stirring frequently, until they reach your desired consistency. This should take about 4-5 minutes for creamy, velvety eggs.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.

Step 8

Season the scrambled eggs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired, and serve immediately.
