Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 cup Low Sodium Cheddar Cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh Salsa
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley or Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, then add the milk. Whisk together until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
Grate the low sodium cheddar cheese if not pre-grated and chop the parsley or chives finely. Set them aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit, without stirring, for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them across the pan and turning them over slowly. Continue until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle the low sodium cheddar cheese over the eggs and stir gently until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked, yet moist and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and season with black pepper.
Spoon the scrambled eggs onto plates and top each serving with a generous spoonful of fresh salsa.
Garnish with the chopped parsley or chives before serving hot.
