Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until fully blended and the mixture is a uniform yellow color.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely without browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a silicone spatula to gently stir and push the eggs from the edge to the center as they begin to set.
When the eggs are halfway cooked and still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Continue gently stirring the eggs, ensuring the cheese melts and incorporates into the scramble. Cook until the eggs are just set but still soft and glossy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve immediately. Pair with toast or avocado for a complete breakfast!
