Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture until the egg yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting around the edges.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, forming soft curds.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set, but still slightly runny.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Stir gently to incorporate the cheese and finish cooking the eggs to your desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the eggs rest for a moment to fully melt the cheese.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
