Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the whole milk and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are well combined and frothy.
Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter is melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges, for about 4-5 minutes.
When the eggs are about half-cooked, sprinkle the low-sodium cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Continue folding the eggs gently until they reach a soft, creamy consistency and the cheese has melted completely.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the eggs sit for a few seconds to finish cooking from the residual heat.
Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
