Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs and milk are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 4
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling (but not browned), pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight motion, slowly pushing them from the edges toward the center. This helps create soft curds.
Step 6
Continue stirring for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs look soft, slightly glossy, and creamy. They will continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
Step 7
Transfer the eggs to a plate immediately to stop additional cooking. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
