- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup milk I usually just eye-ball it
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Crack eggs into a blender.
Add remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth
I always use a non-stick skillet, but spray it with nonstick spray for good measure.
Heat your pan over medium heat and NOT ANY HOTTER! A hot pan makes for crusty dry eggs.
Pour your egg mixture into the pan. Now comes the important part.
Watch your eggs carefully. Using a plastic spatula pull the eggs from the outside of the pan inward, scraping the bottom.
Once the eggs are mostly cooked you want to use a scoop and flip motion rather than a stirring motion. This will keep the eggs from being crumbly.
I always turn off the heat just when I think they need 1 more minute. I find that if I cook them for that 1 more minute that they turn out dry. The eggs will continue to cook a bit after the heat is turned off.
Serve immediately.
