Herb Scrambled Eggs

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

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