Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen peas
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 slices Bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Measure out 1 cup of frozen peas and set them aside. If desired, defrost the peas by running them under warm water for 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

2. Crack 3 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of whole milk, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.

Step 3

3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam slightly, but do not let it brown.

Step 4

4. Add the peas to the skillet and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until they're heated through and tender.

Step 5

5. Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the beaten eggs over the peas in the skillet, gently stirring with a spatula to cook the eggs evenly.

Step 6

6. Scramble the eggs slowly, gently folding them as they cook to create soft, fluffy curds. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped chives for a fresh, herby finish.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately, either on its own or with toast or bread on the side. Enjoy this simple, comforting dish in your coziest pajamas!
