Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the diced roasted green chiles and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, add the butter and let it melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs, ensuring they cook evenly.
As the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped green onion over the top for a fresh, bright finish.
Serve immediately with an optional drizzle of hot sauce, if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with toast, tortillas, or a side of avocado slices.
