Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk eggs with milk until slightly foamy and uniform in color (you shouldn’t be able to see dark yellow from the yolk or clear from the whites of the eggs).
Heat a small, nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add oil or butter.
Add eggs and as you see them setting around the edges, use a rubber or silicone spatula to gently push the eggs in to the middle of the pan from the outside the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Continue to cook, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds, but not constantly.
When the eggs still look wet but are mostly set, remove from heat. If desired, let the eggs continue to cook in warm pan, stirring or flipping over until no liquid egg remains.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Multiply recipe as needed to increase servings. Photos depict a triple batch.
Make them your own: Switch up the seasonings to something like everything bagel seasoning, a sprinkling of Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes. Sprinkle in your favorite cheese. Toss scrambled eggs with some ham or bacon crumbles. Serve with additional herbs like oregano, or basil, chimichurri, or a pesto sauce.
Make Ahead Ideas: Eggs are best served immediately. However, if you are cooking a large amount in batches, you can keep them warm in an oven-safe dish, covered, in the oven (preheated to 175-200ºF) for a short time while you wait. They will be dryer and more well-done.
Storage Suggestions: Scrambled eggs are best eaten fresh, but you can keep any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating Tips: The quickest and easiest way to reheat eggs is to pop them in the microwave (30 second intervals) to heat through.
