Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (can substitute for plant milk or water)
  • ¼ tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Fresh black pepper, for serving
  • Fresh chopped herbs for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth and combined, with no streaks of egg white remaining to form a foamy and uniform color.
  2. Melt the butter in an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat for about a minute.
  3. Pour the eggs into the middle of the pan and let them cook for a few seconds, undisturbed, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, continuously swipe eggs from one end to the other across the bottom of the pan in various directions to form medium, soft curds of scrambled eggs.
  5. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs are mostly cooked, but a little liquid egg remains.
  7. Fold the eggs over on themselves, bringing them together.
  8. Transfer eggs to a warm serving dish.
  9. Finish to taste with some freshly cracked pepper.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • Whisk Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk your eggs, milk, and salt until smooth and combined. This helps create a uniform texture for your scrambled eggs.
  • Low Heat: Cooking the eggs over low heat ensures they cook evenly and prevents them from becoming rubbery.
