Scrambled Eggs
Directions
- In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. 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.
- Using a spatula or a large spoon, lift and turn partially cooked egg mixture so that the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until egg is cooked through, but is still glossy and moist. Remove from heat immediately. Makes 3 servings.
