Ingredients

3 eggs
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp milk
to taste salt
to garnish chives

Instructions

Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with a pinch of salt until the yolks and whites are completely blended and a little frothy.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Pour in the eggs and let them sit for a few seconds, then begin stirring slowly and constantly with a spatula.

Keep folding the eggs gently as soft curds form, scraping them off the bottom so they cook evenly.
When the eggs are mostly set but still glossy and slightly wet, remove the pan from the heat.
Let the residual warmth finish the cooking for a few seconds, then slide the creamy eggs onto a plate and serve immediately.

💡 Chef's tip

Take the eggs off the heat while they still look slightly underdone, because the residual heat in the pan finishes cooking them into a creamy texture instead of overcooking them.

Cooking the eggs low and slow while stirring constantly keeps the curds tiny and creamy; high heat is what makes scrambled eggs dry and rubbery.
