Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk eggs, chives, dill, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Step 2: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until bubbling but not browned.
- Step 3: Pour in egg mixture and gently stir with a silicone spatula, folding the eggs as they set for 3-4 minutes until softly set and creamy.
- Step 4: Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly moist, as residual heat will continue cooking them to a perfect creamy texture.
