Directions

1. In a medium bowl beat together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper with a wire whisk or fork. In a 10-inch skillet melt butter over medium heat; pour in egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around the edges.

4. Cheese-and-Onion Scrambled Eggs: Prepare as above, except cook 1 green onion in the butter for 30 seconds; add egg mixture. Fold in 1/3 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese after eggs begin to set.
