Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl to coat the pan.
- Pour egg mixture into the skillet. Let cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until edges begin to set.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently push cooked eggs from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
- Continue pushing and folding eggs gently until they are mostly set but still soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat just before eggs are fully cooked (they will continue to cook from residual heat).
- Fold in chopped chives. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra creamy eggs, use low heat and stir constantly.
- Add a small pat of butter on top before serving for added richness.
- Leftover scrambled eggs can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a microwave or skillet.
