Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper vigorously for 30 to 45 seconds until lightly foamy.
Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and swirl to coat. Lightly toast the bread while the pan heats.
Pour in the eggs. As they begin to set, gently push the soft curds from the edges toward the center, folding slowly for fluffy, custardy eggs, 1 to 2 minutes.
Top the eggs with cheese and let it melt for 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from heat.
Spread mayonnaise and Dijon on the toasted bread slices.
Divide the fluffy eggs between two bread bottoms, sprinkle with chives, cap with the remaining slices, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For extra richness, swap milk for half-and-half. Add crispy bacon or a tomato slice for variation. Cook eggs low and slow to keep them tender and fluffy.
