Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
Rinse the grape tomatoes, cut them in half, and set them aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, swirling it around until fully melted and the pan is evenly coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center in a folding motion, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Add the halved grape tomatoes on top and gently fold them into the eggs, being careful not to break them apart.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still soft and creamy.
Remove from heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
