Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the surface of the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds, then gently stir with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula.
As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives over the top. Continue stirring gently, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center to create soft, fluffy curds.
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Stir until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked, but still tender and creamy.
Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired. Pair with toast, fresh fruit, or your favorite breakfast sides.
