Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) with a 12-inch cast iron skillet inside.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, whole milk, minced fresh chives, and mustard powder until smooth and bubbly.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold together until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
  5. Carefully remove the heated skillet, add unsalted butter, and let it melt and foam for 3-5 minutes.
