Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until well blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil and butter. Swirl the skillet until the butter melts and coats the surface evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet towards the center. Continue this motion around the skillet, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
When the eggs are about 70% cooked and still slightly runny, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Continue to gently fold the eggs to incorporate the melted cheese, ensuring they remain soft and creamy. Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Divide the eggs between two plates, garnish with chopped fresh chives, and serve immediately with your favorite toast or sides.
