Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons optional mix-ins (shredded cheese, finely chopped herbs, or pre-cooked vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Place a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
  2. Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Add the whole milk and salt. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly foamy with no streaks remaining.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the eggs sit briefly until they begin to set around the edges.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from one side of the skillet to the other, folding slowly to form large, soft curds while allowing uncooked egg to flow into empty spaces.
  5. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy, gently fold in any optional mix-ins and stir just enough to combine.
  6. Remove from heat while the eggs are still moist and glistening. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Whisking the eggs thoroughly incorporates air for fluffier curds.
  • Cook over medium-low heat to prevent dryness and rubbery texture.
  • Remove eggs from heat while slightly glossy; residual heat will finish cooking them.
  • Pre-cook vegetables before adding to prevent watery eggs.
  • For a richer texture, substitute milk with heavy cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
