Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 white onion, finely diced
- 2 roma tomatoes, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional for serving)
- 4 corn tortillas (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and chopped jalapeño, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Using a rubber spatula, gently move the eggs across the skillet, folding them as they cook. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked but still soft and creamy.
Fold in the chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese, then remove the skillet from heat. Stir gently to combine as the cheese melts.
Serve immediately with sliced avocado and warm corn tortillas on the side if desired.
