Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the base evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, moving from the outer edges to the center. Sprinkle in the red chili flakes evenly over the eggs.
Continue to cook while gently pulling the eggs across the pan with the spatula to form soft curds.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and briefly stir to incorporate.
Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are still slightly runny as they will continue to cook from residual heat. This ensures a creamy texture.
Garnish with the freshly chopped chives, then serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
