Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cups prepared salsa
- 0.25 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
Once the eggs are about halfway cooked and still slightly runny, add the salsa to the skillet. Gently fold the salsa into the eggs, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Continue cooking the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked but still moist and soft. Avoid overcooking them.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and let it melt for about 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the salsa eggs with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately with toast, tortillas, or avocado slices for a complete breakfast.
