👨🍳 Instructions
-
1Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly foamy.💡 Adding milk makes eggs slightly fluffier and more creamy.
-
2Melt butter in a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Don't let it brown.
-
3Pour in egg mixture. Let it sit for 20 seconds until edges just start to set.💡 Low heat is the secret to creamy, soft scrambled eggs. High heat makes them rubbery.
-
4Using a spatula, gently push eggs from the edges toward the centre in slow folds. Remove from heat while still slightly wet — they will continue cooking from residual heat.
-
5Serve immediately. Garnish with chives or fresh herbs if desired.
