- Step 1
Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring often, until they begin to sweat. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, five to eight minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the chives.
- Step 2
Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, and beat in the milk. Add to the skillet. Cook, stirring every few seconds, until the eggs are scrambled. Remove from the heat, and serve.
Tip
- Advance preparation: You can prepare the mushrooms through Step 1 several hours ahead. Reheat over medium heat, and proceed with the recipe.

Why low-fat milk rather than full fat or even heavy cream?

After having just watched with pleasure the film Phantom Thread - excepting the kitchen scenes of deviously prepared mushroom dishes - I must ask about the prepping of mushrooms, most of which, for your readers, will have been purchased in a grocery store. What do we need to know about mushroom dangers if any - like mold, black grit, bruising odd coloration and the like. I've been told not to wash them under water, which I'd been doing for years!!
Rolando Loewenstein
try cooking the mushrooms very little so they are just done in the outside but keep the texture and are not soft but rather "crispy"

I happened to cook this recipe this morning before reading it, only my eggs were heavier on the mushrooms and were garnished with cilantro, along with the fresh chives. I served the eggs with toast topped with olive oil, parmesan and thyme. Yum.
Soraya
Add some thyme or rosemary!

Veganized! Made this with Just Egg and it was luxurious and satisfying. I'm mentioning the brand because it matters in this case. I've tried all the faux eggs and nothing tastes/feels like scrambled eggs like this brand. I also used a Costco pack of fancy mixed mushrooms. So simple. To me, it's a great grown up breakfast for dinner option (though I think kids would eat this up, too)

Served on a bed of arugula and crumbled feta, with halved sungold tomatoes. Classic and delicious!

Phenomenal! I felt like I went out for a fancy brunch, but at home. So easy for such a result. Thank you Martha! :)

A celebratory dish in my house. Foraged mushrooms are essential. Has me flat on my back, helpless, tender, and open - every time.

I didn't have chives so I omitted. I let the mushrooms cook long enough to let their juices out and brown, then added the garlic along with some butter. It should be noted that scrambled eggs cook super fast so be prepared with your plates and toast ready before you add the eggs to the pan. Fresh thyme would be lovely, too, I imagine.
