Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup prepared salsa
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, and add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set at the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs towards the center of the skillet from the edges. Continue to do this in a slow and gentle folding motion until the eggs are mostly cooked, but still soft and slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, and gently fold the eggs once more to melt the cheese slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny. Residual heat will finish the cooking process, leaving the eggs creamy.
Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates and top each serving with prepared salsa.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if using, and serve immediately.
