Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 Sandwich bun or English muffin
- 1 tablespoon Optional: hot sauce or ketchup
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Beat together until well blended.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook gently without stirring for the first minute, then gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula to form soft curds.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the eggs are cooking, toast your sandwich bun or English muffin until golden brown.
If desired, spread a layer of hot sauce or ketchup on one or both sides of the toasted bun.
Spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of the bun or muffin. Top with the other half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade egg and cheese sandwich.
