Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs (chives, parsley) or shredded cheese

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Eggs : Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Step 2: Heat the Pan : Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and allow it to melt, coating the pan evenly.
  • Step 3: Cook the Eggs : Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 20–30 seconds. Using a spatula, gently push eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly creamy. Remove from heat — they will continue to cook from residual heat.
