Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or Heavy Cream)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, and whisk them together with the milk (or heavy cream), salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter begins to sizzle lightly, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir them with a spatula, scraping the edges and bottom of the pan as they begin to set.
When the eggs are nearly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are creamy and set to your liking.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Transfer the cheese eggs to serving plates and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
