Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, gently stirring with a spatula until eggs are softly set but still moist, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped chives. Cook for 1 more minute until cheese melts and eggs are fully set.
