Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a nonstick skillet and put it over medium-high heat.

Crack 4 eggs into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of milk, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Whisk the mixture together until smooth.

When the skillet heats up, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan. This will force the butter to the edges where it's needed.

Slowly stir with a spatula as curds begin to form. Shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves.

When all of the curds have formed, transfer the eggs to a warm plate and serve.

Optional: Butter a microwave safe bowl and microwave ingredients for 2 minutes. Stir, then cook an additional 1 minute.
