Ingredients
Scale
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh chives or parsley, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, and whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan.
Pour in the eggs and let sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds, then gently stir with a rubber spatula, pushing eggs from the edges to the center.
Continue to cook, stirring gently and continuously, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft and creamy.
Remove from heat; the residual heat will finish cooking them. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Garnish with chopped herbs if desired and serve immediately with toast.
Notes
Cook low and slow for the creamiest texture.
Don’t overcook — they should be just set and still a bit glossy.
Add shredded cheese or sautéed veggies for extra flavor.
