Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk see notes below
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instructions

  • Put the eggs, milk, and black pepper into a bowl and beat until foamy.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in a non-stick skillet.
  • Pour in the beaten eggs. Slowly stir the eggs by pulling them across the pan with a silicone spatula.
  • As the eggs begin to cook, they will form large, soft, clumps (aka curds). Turn the heat the low and gently fold the clumps of eggs over onto each other.
  • Once all of the liquid eggs are cooked, remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and transfer to plates to serve.

Notes

Other options for the whole milk:
  • Less Milk: Reduce the amount of whole milk to 2 tablespoons.
  • Half-n-Half: Use half-n-half instead of milk.
  • Heavy Cream: Replace all or some of the milk with heavy cream.
  • Water: Substitute the milk with 1-2 tablespoons of water.
  • Plain Eggs: Don’t add any liquid. Just beat the eggs and pepper.
