Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and hot sauce if using.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the egg mixture and scramble gently for about 5–6 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove eggs just before they’re fully set.
