Salt the eggs in advance and let them sit for up to 15 minutes.

Add about 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the eggs and beat them together.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little water to gauge temperature.

Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir gently.

Cook until the eggs are moist and creamy, then add chopped chives and black pepper before serving.
