Ingredients

12 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup butter , melted and cooled
3/4 teaspoon salt
pepper , for serving
chopped chives , for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, aggressively whisk all of the ingredients together until well incorporated and is light, airy, and pale in color. Pour into the prepared glass baking dish.
Transfer to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, give the eggs a stir, pushing the outside edges in as they cook faster. Bake for 10 more minutes or until set (time may vary depending on your oven. Eggs will set quickly toward the end, so keep an eye on them so they don't over cook and become dry.)
Remove from the heat when the eggs still shimmer with a bit of moisture, since they will continue to cook out of the oven.
Serve with some freshly cracked pepper and chopped fresh chives.

Notes

Whisk until light and airy. This is the key to achieving the perfect scrambled eggs, as it adds oxygen to the mixture which gives them more of a soft, fluffy texture.

Stir during baking. Be sure to give the eggs a stir after about 15 minutes, as it's normal for the center to cook more than the outside and you want everything to cook evenly.

Don't over-bake. The eggs will finish cooking quickly, so be sure to keep an eye on them during the final 10 minutes. You want to remove them when there's still a hint of moisture on them since they'll continue to cook outside the oven.

Adjust the seasonings and ingredients. Feel free to add your favorite seasonings and a bit of protein, veggies, or cheese. As I noted above, this is a base recipe.
