How to Make Scrambled Eggs with Chives: A Simple Guide

Scrambled eggs with chives is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful dish loved worldwide. Here’s a simple guide to making it perfectly.

Ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 bunch fresh chives (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon cooking oil, 1 pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper (optional). For extra richness, you can add a teaspoon of milk or soy sauce.

Steps:

1. Prep the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and milk/soy sauce if using. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat the pan evenly.

3. Scramble the eggs: Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for 10-15 seconds until the edges start to set. Gently push the cooked portions toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

4. Add chives: When the eggs are nearly set (still slightly runny), sprinkle the chopped chives over the top. Fold them gently into the eggs.

5. Finish cooking: Cook for another 10-20 seconds until the eggs reach your desired consistency—creamy and moist, or firmer. Avoid overcooking, as eggs become tough.

Serving Tip: Enjoy hot with steamed rice, toast, as a side dish, or even as a filling for wraps. This versatile dish takes under 10 minutes to prepare, making it ideal for busy weekdays!
