Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of whole milk or heavy cream. Whisk until just combined and slightly frothy, about 20 seconds.
- Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and let it melt slowly, coating the pan evenly. The butter should foam but not brown.
- Pour in the egg mixture once the butter is foamy and warm. Let sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds to let edges begin to set.
- Using a heat-resistant silicone spatula, stir slowly and gently, pushing eggs from edges toward the center. Keep heat low and fold eggs rather than scramble aggressively.
- Continue folding and stirring for 3-4 minutes until soft, creamy curds form and eggs look slightly wet. Remove pan from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Give a final gentle stir, transfer eggs to a warm plate, and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Cook eggs low and slow to avoid rubbery texture. Remove from heat just before fully set as eggs continue cooking off the stove. Season at the end to preserve texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan margarine and milk/cream with plant-based milk, noting texture differences.
