Perfectly Fluffed Stovetop Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Eggs:
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined, and the mixture becomes a uniform pale yellow.

2. Heat the Pan:
Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the surface with melted butter.

3. Cook the Eggs:
Once the butter begins to foam but not brown, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until they just begin to set around the edges.

4. Scramble Gently:
Using a heat-resistant spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked portions to flow to the edges. Continue this process carefully and slowly, ensuring the eggs remain moist—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Final Touches:
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly jiggly, remove the skillet from the heat. Let the residual warmth finish cooking the eggs to your desired consistency.

6. Serve and Garnish:
Quickly transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate to prevent further cooking. Garnish with fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
