  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt and pepper, and whisk until evenly combined.

  2. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat without letting it brown.

  3. Pour in the eggs and leave them undisturbed for about 20 seconds, until they begin to set at the edges.

  4. Stir gently with a spatula, sweeping across the pan to form soft curds. Keep stirring until the eggs are nearly set but still glossy.

  5. Take the pan off the heat while the eggs are slightly creamy; residual heat will finish cooking them. Serve straight away.

Notes

For extra creamy eggs, consider adding a dollop of crème fraîche or a sprinkle of grated cheese right before the eggs are fully set. Fresh chives or parsley also make excellent garnishes.
About this recipe

These scrambled eggs are cooked slowly so they stay soft and creamy, with just enough milk to make the curds tender. Serve them on toast for a quick breakfast or brunch.
