Equipment

  • Silicone Spatula
  • non-stick skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs preferably at room temperature for even cooking
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter for that rich flavor
  • 1/8 teaspoon flaky kosher salt to enhance the egg flavor
  • Freshly cracked black or white pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk optional for extra creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese new for a savory umami boost
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives new for mild herbal sharpness

Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the Eggs

  • Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl. Take a fork or a whisk and vigorously whisk the eggs until they are uniform in color. You want to whip a little air into the mix, so go ahead and get a good rhythm going. The more, the merrier!

Step 2: Prepare the Pan

  • Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Low and slow is the name of the game here, folks. Add the unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt gently. You don’t want it to brown—just a smooth, bubbly layer that keeps the eggs from sticking.

Step 3: Pour and Stir

  • Once the butter's all melted, pour in your whisked eggs. Now’s where the magic begins. Use a spatula to stir continuously, moving from the edges to the center of the pan. This enables the eggs to cook evenly without turning into scrambled rubber bands.

Step 4: Add Milk and Season

  • When your eggs start to form soft curds and are still slightly runny, that's the sweet spot to add the milk. It’ll enrich the eggs even more. Sprinkle in your flaky kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

Step 5: Finish with Cheese and Herbs

  • Before the eggs are fully set, take them off the heat. They’ll continue cooking slightly in the residual warmth. Fold in the grated Parmesan and fresh chives for a lovely finishing touch.

Step 6: Serve Immediately

  • Don’t let those eggs hang out too long. Serve them straight away while they're still soft and warm. Enjoy them with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Choose fresh eggs: Fresh eggs make a big difference in texture and flavor.
  • Use a non-stick pan: This will help prevent sticking and make clean-up a breeze.
  • Watch the heat: Keep the heat low. High heat means rubbery eggs.
  • Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or fresh herbs to switch it up.
  • Don’t overcook: Remove from heat when they are still slightly runny. They’ll finish cooking off the heat.
