Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with 2 tbsp whole milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat (do not let it brown). Pour in the egg mixture and let it set for 30 seconds until edges begin to form.
  3. Step 3: Gently stir the eggs with a silicone spatula using a figure-eight motion, cooking slowly for 2-3 minutes until softly set but still moist (do not scramble vigorously).
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and immediately fold in 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp chopped chives, and 1 tsp lemon zest, stirring until evenly distributed and fragrant.
