Soft and Creamy Scrambled Eggs
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk and salt and whisk until completely smooth, with no streaks of white.
- Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until it foams but doesn't brown.
- Pour in the eggs and wait about 20 seconds, until the edges just start to set.
- Slowly push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a silicone spatula, making large soft curds. Keep stirring gently and lift the pan off the heat for a few seconds if they cook too fast.
- Take the pan off the heat when the eggs are softly set with no runny liquid egg left (egg dishes are fully cooked at 160°F / 71°C). They'll keep cooking a little on the plate.
- Season with pepper and chives and serve right away.
