Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 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 to the eggs and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds to allow the bottom layer to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked portion to flow to the edges. Continue this process gently until the eggs are mostly cooked but still soft and slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Let it sit for another 15-20 seconds to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Carefully fold sections of the eggs over themselves to incorporate the melted cheese throughout. Cook for another 15-30 seconds or until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the egg cheese mixture to serving plates immediately.
Serve hot and enjoy!
