Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for about 30 seconds without stirring, allowing the edges to set slightly.
Using a heat-resistant spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked liquid to flow outward. Continue this process slowly for about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, folding the eggs gently to melt the cheese and combine it evenly.
Once the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Transfer the scrambled egg cheesy thingy to a plate, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve hot.
