Step 1
Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt, and whisk until fully combined and pale.
Step 2
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until it foams, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Pour in eggs and let sit for 30 seconds without stirring, then gently push curds from edge to center.
Step 4
Keep pushing gently every 20 seconds until curds are soft and creamy, ~3 minutes total.
Step 5
Remove from heat just before eggs look fully set—they'll continue cooking in the pan.
Step 6
Fold in chives and serve immediately.
