Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Add milk or cream if desired for extra creaminess.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter until bubbly but not browned.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a moment to form curds before stirring gently.
- Use a spatula to push cooked edges toward the center while tilting the pan for uncooked egg to flow outward.
- Once the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny, season with salt and pepper, then give them one last gentle stir.
- Serve immediately on warm plates alongside toast or fresh fruit.
