Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks (sliced) green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly until smooth and well-combined.
Slice the green onions thinly. Set aside for later use.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 15-20 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
Using a spatula, gently push the outer edges of the eggs towards the center, letting the uncooked egg flow to the edges of the pan. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Lower the heat to its lowest setting and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Add the sliced green onions on top of the cheese.
Fold the eggs gently to incorporate the cheese and green onions. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking, and transfer the eggs to plates.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy scrambled eggs with green onions!
