Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper.
- Vigorously mix by hand (try not to use an electric blender) about 30 seconds, until when it turns a pale yellow color and somewhat frothy and even in texture. This step is not to be skipped, as it adds air into the mix resulting in a fluffier composition.
- In a non-stick skillet melt the butter on medium-low heat. Ensure the entire surface of the pan is coated.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Leave the mixture to stand for 20-30 seconds, crust should just be forming on the edges.
- Shove the eggs at the sides in the middle with a rubber spatula. Flip the pan so that raw egg will drain to the open pores.
- Keep on pushing and folding lightly after every 20 seconds. Do not keep on stirring, because it has the effect of breaking the curds too far.
- Take the skillet off the heat before the eggs are fully set, and do not allow them to look quite dried up. They will continue to cook from the residual heat.
- Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley and eat straight away with your toast of choice or side.
