Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Add the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside. Grate the cheddar cheese if it’s not already shredded.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling it around the pan to coat the surface.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center. Continue folding the eggs to create curds, being mindful not to over-stir.
When the eggs are about 80% cooked and slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Continue gently folding the eggs until the cheese is melted and the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove the skillet from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Garnish the scrambled eggs with the chopped fresh chives and serve warm.
