Instructions

1. Step 1: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
2. Step 2: Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, then stir gently with a fork until mostly set but still slightly runny (about 1 minute total).
3. Step 3: Add butter to the bowl and microwave for 15 seconds until melted, then stir in crumbled feta and 1 tbsp chives.
4. Step 4: Microwave for 30 seconds more, then stir until eggs are softly set with no visible liquid (they should look creamy, not dry).
5. Step 5: Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp chives, and serve immediately while warm.
