This recipe combines the richness of olive oil with the fresh flavors of chives and tarragon, creating a harmonious and aromatic dish. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, this recipe is easy to follow and ensures a delicious start to your day.

Ingredients:

6 eggs
300g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp chives
3g
1 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
4.80g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Finely chop the chives and tarragon.
2. Season the Eggs:
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs until the whites and yolks are thoroughly combined and the mixture is a uniform yellow color.
3. Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and let it warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
- Let them sit undisturbed for about 10-20 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
5. Scramble:
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding the edges towards the center.
- Continue to cook, stirring every few seconds, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.
6. Add Herbs:
- When the eggs are about halfway cooked and still slightly runny, add the finely chopped chives and tarragon.
- Continue to gently fold and stir the eggs until they are just set but still soft and slightly creamy. This should take an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of extra chives or tarragon, if desired.

Tips:

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before cooking to ensure a uniform texture.

- Cook the eggs on a low to medium heat to avoid overcooking and maintain a creamy consistency.

- Stir gently and continuously to achieve soft, fluffy curds.

- Add the herbs towards the end of cooking to preserve their fresh flavors.

- Season with salt and pepper just before serving for the best taste.
