Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Step 2
Add whole milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs.
Step 3
Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined with the milk and seasonings.
Step 4
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat on the stove.
Step 5
Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges into the center, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until they are creamy and just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat slightly before the eggs are completely cooked, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
Step 9
Sprinkle the scrambled eggs with chopped chives for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm.
