Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 30 grams Low-fat Cheddar Cheese
- 1 second spray Olive Oil Cooking Spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks. Set aside.
Grate the low-fat cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray it with olive oil cooking spray to evenly coat the bottom of the pan.
Gently pour the eggs into the skillet. Do not stir, and let them cook until the whites start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the eggs evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the egg whites to cook through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately for a hot and cheesy breakfast.
