You Will Need:

• Serves 1 Hungry Husband
• Ingredients
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk t ogether the eggs, milk, salt and ground black pepper.

It may take 10 to 12 minutes total.

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• Olive oil, for brushing
• 1 dozen large eggs
