Mise en place
Gather the 2 Large Eggs, 15ml (1 tbsp) Whole Milk, 14g (1 tbsp) Unsalted Butter, 2 slices Sourdough Bread, 1.5g (1/4 tsp) Kosher Salt, 0.5g (1/8 tsp) Black Pepper (ground), and 2g (1 tsp) Chives. Finely mince the chives using a sharp knife and set them aside.

Whisk the eggs
With your ingredients prepped, crack the 2 Large Eggs into a small mixing bowl. Add the 15ml (1 tbsp) Whole Milk and the 1.5g (1/4 tsp) Kosher Salt, then whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the whites and yolks are completely combined.

Toast the bread
Now that the eggs are ready, place the 2 slices Sourdough Bread into a toaster or under a broiler. Toast the bread until the surfaces are crisp and the edges have turned a deep golden brown.

Melt the butter
While the bread finishes toasting, place a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and add the 14g (1 tbsp) Unsalted Butter. Swirl the pan gently as the butter melts until it coats the entire bottom surface.
2 min -
Pour the eggs
The butter should now be melted and foaming — pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds until the bottom layer begins to set.
1 min -
Fold the curds
The edges should now be set — use a silicone spatula to gently push the cooked eggs from the outer edge toward the center. Continue this sweeping motion, allowing the remaining liquid egg to flow into the empty spaces, until large, soft curds form.

Plate and garnish
The eggs should be mostly set but still look slightly wet — remove the pan from the heat immediately. Divide the eggs onto the 2 slices Sourdough Bread, then sprinkle with the 2g (1 tsp) Chives and the 0.5g (1/8 tsp) Black Pepper (ground).
