Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (or cooking spray)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly with milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Add the salt and pepper to the egg mixture and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the olive oil or lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds until the edges begin to set.
Step 5
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the set edges of the eggs toward the center of the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
Step 6
Repeat the process of pushing and tilting until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly glossy and creamy (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the residual heat of the pan to finish cooking the eggs for a few more seconds.
Step 8
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
