🥬 Ingredients
🍳 Cookware
📝 Steps
Crack four large eggs into a mixing bowl, add a generous pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, and a splash of milk (about 2 tablespoons). Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and foam but not brown.
Pour in the eggs and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds until they just begin to set around the edges.
With a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating large, soft curds. Continue to gently push and fold until the eggs are mostly set but still creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast two thick slices of good-quality bread on a baking sheet under your broiler (or in your toaster if available) until golden. Immediately spread each with a little butter.
Transfer the scrambled eggs over the toast. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, and finish with a light sprinkle of flaky salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
💡 Chef's Tips
Keep the skillet over low heat to ensure tender, creamy eggs; avoid overcooking, as scrambled eggs firm up quickly after leaving the pan.
Finish with a touch of acid—a few drops of lemon juice or a light grind of black pepper heightens flavor.
Use fresh herbs for brightness; chives, parsley, or dill all work beautifully.
If you like cheese, gently fold in a small handful of grated cheddar or goat cheese just before the eggs finish cooking.
