If you're looking to elevate your breakfast or brunch game, these Garden Herb Fluffy Scrambled Eggs are your ticket to culinary bliss. Infused with fresh garden herbs, these eggs are light, buttery, and packed with flavor, making them a delightful way to start your day.
Eggs: The star of the show, they create the creamy, fluffy base for your scramble.
Whole milk: Adds a bit of richness and helps achieve that light, airy texture.
Unsalted butter: Gives the eggs a delicious, buttery taste and helps them cook gently.
Salt and black pepper: Essential seasonings that enhance the natural flavor of the eggs.
Chives, parsley, and dill: These fresh herbs add vibrant flavor and a touch of garden freshness.
Start by cracking four large eggs into a bowl. Add two tablespoons of whole milk, along with a quarter teaspoon of salt and an eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper. Grab a whisk and combine everything until it’s smooth and well-mixed with no streaks of egg white left.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add two tablespoons of unsalted butter. Let it melt gently, keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t brown. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few moments. You'll notice the edges starting to set. It’s time to grab your spatula and gently stir the eggs, folding them from the edges toward the center. This helps create those beautiful, soft curds.
Keep folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny on top. At this point, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them to perfection. Stir in the chopped chives, parsley, and dill, and you're ready to serve immediately!
Pair these scrambled eggs with a slice of crusty sourdough bread or a buttery croissant for a complete meal. For an extra layer of flavor, consider serving alongside smoked salmon or a side of sautéed mushrooms.
