Step 1
Crack eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a fork until yolks and whites combine, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds—it should foam gently.
Step 3
Pour eggs into the skillet. Let sit for 10 seconds, then stir slowly with a rubber spatula.
Step 4
Continue stirring every few seconds until curds form and surface is almost set, 2–3 minutes total.
Step 5
Remove from heat while eggs still look slightly wet—they'll firm up as they rest.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates and top with chives if desired. Serve immediately.
