Equipment

1 metal whisk and bowl for whisking eggs in
1 12" non-stick skillet

Ingredients

4 farm-fresh eggs
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoon water
1 pinch Kosher salt
Ground black pepper optional
2 tablespoon chives finely chopped, optional

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Use your whisk to vigorously mix the eggs for 1 to 2 minutes. Air bubbles should be visible.
4 farm-fresh eggs
Meanwhile, heat your skillet over low heat. Add the butter and swirl it around until completely melted.
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Add the water to the top of the whisked eggs. Don't stir! Carefully transfer the heavily whisked eggs to the skillet. Don't stir the eggs. Let them rest until just beginning to set in places (usually 2 to 3 minutes).
2 tablespoon water
Use your silicone spatula to gently push the eggs (that have begun to set) toward the middle of the skillet, allowing the runny, uncooked eggs to run into the area on the skillet that is open.
Continue this process until the eggs are almost fully scrambled. Remove from heat and keep slowly stirring the eggs and sprinkle in a healthy pinch of salt, and pepper, if using. The heat from the skillet will finish cooking the eggs. Don't overcook!
1 pinch Kosher salt, Ground black pepper
Serve at once, garnishing with snipped chives, if using.
2 tablespoon chives

Do your best to seek out farm-fresh eggs. The fresher, the better. Ask friends and/or Google "farmer's markets" in your area. If you can't get your hands on any, go with organic eggs from a good market. You'll still get amazing results.

Low heat is important.
