Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp chives
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, add the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Melt the 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, tilting to coat the pan, until it foams but does not brown, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them set for 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the cooked edges toward the center.

  4. 4

    Continue stirring slowly until the eggs are softly set and still glossy, about 2-3 minutes; remove from heat while they look slightly underdone.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the 2 tbsp chopped chives over the eggs and fold them in gently, then serve immediately.
