Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 6 large eggs in a bowl with 1/4 tsp salt until fully combined. Stir in 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives.
  2. Step 2: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until foaming. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently with a silicone spatula for 2-3 minutes until softly set but still moist.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to low and continue stirring gently for 4-5 minutes, allowing small curds to form. Stop when eggs are just set but still glossy and no liquid remains.
  4. Step 4: Transfer to a plate immediately to prevent overcooking, as residual heat will continue cooking the eggs for 1-2 minutes.
