Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl break the eggs and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Mix the eggs until they are light and frothy using a wire whisk or a fork.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once heated add the butter and melt.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let sit for about 30 seconds then using a rubber spatula scrape around the edges of the pan, lifting any cooked egg off the bottom. Allow the uncooked egg on top to flow down underneath so it will cook evenly throughout.
  • Continue to stir the eggs gently while the curds form and until no liquid remains. This should take about 2 minutes.
  • Serve the eggs immediately while hot.

Notes

For one serving use 2-3 eggs
