    Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 8 inch skillet, preferably one with non-stick lining; saute garlic and mushrooms until done and moisture has evaporated.

    Remove from pan; keep warm.
  • Step 5
    In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt, basil and pepper.

    Melt remaining butter in skillet until foamy, swirling it around pan to coat evenly.
  • Step 7
    When hot enough that a drop of water sizzles when dropped in, pour in egg mixture.
  • Step 8
    Tip pan so eggs coat skillet evenly.
  • Step 9
    As eggs cook, periodically lift up cooked edges, tilt pan and let uncooked egg run underneath.
