Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 stalks (chopped) Green onions (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Gather all the ingredients and make sure the cooked rice is warm. If using cold leftover rice, reheat it gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook for about 30 seconds until it begins to set around the edges.

6. Stir the eggs and rice together until well combined and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and rice. Stir gently until the cheese melts and coats the mixture evenly.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and taste. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or black pepper if necessary.
9. Transfer the cheesy eggs rice to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Eggs Rice!
