Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a fork until yolks and whites combine, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds—it should foam gently.

  3. Step 3

    Pour eggs into the skillet. Let sit for 10 seconds, then stir slowly with a rubber spatula.

  4. Step 4

    Continue stirring every few seconds until curds form and surface is almost set, 2–3 minutes total.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat while eggs still look slightly wet—they'll firm up as they rest.

  6. Step 6

    Season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates and top with chives if desired. Serve immediately.
