4 large eggs
1–2 tbsp whole milk, cream, or half-and-half (optional—but recommended for creaminess)
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Optional:
Pinch of chives, parsley, or dill
Dash of hot sauce or smoked paprika
💡 Pro Tip:
Salt the eggs before cooking (not after). It helps break down proteins for a softer, more tender curd.
Use fresh, high-quality eggs—they have brighter yolks and firmer whites.
Step-by-Step Instructions (Creamy, Fluffy, Foolproof)

Whisk vigorously for 30–45 seconds until fully blended and slightly frothy.
