Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- Salt to taste
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Crack and Whisk
Begin by cracking open the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and doesn’t have any streaks of egg white.
Step 2: Melting Magic
Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, creating a glossy, golden surface ready for the eggs.
Step 3: Gently Scramble
Pour in the whisked eggs, and after waiting for a few seconds, start gently moving them with a spatula. Pull from the edges to the center, without over-stirring, until they start forming soft curds.
Step 4: Perfect Finish
As the eggs lose their runniness and reach a soft, slightly set consistency, take the pan off the heat. The residual warmth will finish cooking them to fluffy perfection. Enjoy them hot and fresh!
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful scrambled eggs with a side of toast, some avocado slices, or crispy bacon for a balanced meal. For a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
Pairing them with a fresh squeeze of orange juice or a piping hot cup of coffee also makes for a complete morning spread that will leave you smiling!
