Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine milk and cornstarch; whisk to combine. Add eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well-combined.
  2. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter. When foaming subsides, add egg mixture. Let set, 15 seconds, and then, using a heat-proof rubber spatula, begin scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet in a continuous motion, gently folding the eggs to scramble. Remove skillet from heat when eggs begin looking fluffy and curdled but not entirely set, about 1-2 minutes; do not overcook. Continue folding and stirring for an additional 30 seconds off the heat.
  3. Serve while eggs are hot and still slightly loose in places. Top with chopped herbs, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve, with bacon, fruit, or on their own.
