Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk or skim milk
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue to do this in intervals, letting the unset eggs flow to the edges of the pan.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Fold the eggs over the cheese gently, turning them to fully incorporate the melted cheese into the scrambled eggs.
Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly creamy, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives if using. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
