Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.13 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, and add the milk and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the butter to the pan, allowing it to melt completely and coat the surface.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges of the pan towards the center as they begin to set. Maintain a slow, constant stirring motion to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Continue cooking the eggs over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired consistency. For classic Rührei, aim for a soft, creamy finish rather than dry eggs.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Step 7
Season the scrambled eggs with a pinch of black pepper and garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of bread, toast, or side salad for a complete meal.
