Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (or water, optional)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk (or water, if using), salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Once the butter begins to foam but before it browns, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.

Step 5

Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, pulling the curds from the edges toward the center.

Step 6

Continue to stir gently and consistently until the eggs form soft, fluffy curds. Be careful not to overcook; remove the pan from heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will finish cooking with residual heat.

Step 7

Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with chopped chives, if using. Serve immediately.
