Start to Finish: 15 minutes  

3 eggs
3 Tbsp. milk
1/8 tsp. salt
Dash ground black pepper
1–2 tsp. butter or margarine
1 Tbsp. chopped onion
1/4 tsp. minced garlic

1. In a medium bowl beat together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper with a wire whisk or fork.  In a 61/2-inch skillet melt butter over medium heat; add onion and garlic and cook until soft.  Pour in egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around edge.

2. With a spatula or a large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked egg mixture so that the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until egg mixture is cooked through but is still glossy and moist. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Makes 1 serving.
