Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup dairy-free cheese shreds
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the almond milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the yolks are completely broken up.
Add the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, and whisk again briefly to combine.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the oil.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow it to cook undisturbed for the first few moments until the eggs begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue scraping and folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still a little wet.
Sprinkle the dairy-free cheese over the eggs and gently fold the eggs a few more times to melt the cheese.
Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs are still slightly glossy, as they will continue to cook and set with residual heat.
Transfer the eggs to serving plates and top with salsa and freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately while the eggs are warm and enjoy!
