Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup low-sodium shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook gently without stirring for about 1 minute.
Using a spatula, begin to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Continue to push and fold the eggs, allowing uncooked portions to flow to the edges as you go.
Sprinkle the low-sodium shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Continue to cook gently, folding the eggs over the cheese to help it melt evenly.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still a little creamy, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs and melting the cheese.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and fold in the chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
