Scrambled Eggs And Toast
Soft scrambled eggs served with whole wheat toast and butter.
For 1 serving
Toast the whole wheat bread
Place the whole wheat bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they reach a golden brown color and a crisp texture.
Whisk the egg mixture
- Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl.
- Add the low-fat milk and ground black pepper.
- Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Scramble the eggs and garnish
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula to form soft curds. Once the eggs are just set but still moist, remove from heat and fold in the fresh chives.
TIPRemove the eggs from the pan while they look slightly underdone; residual heat will finish the cooking on the plate.
