Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (or cream)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the milk (or cream), salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center and allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Gently fold the eggs over the cheese and cook for another 30 seconds or until the cheese melts and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Transfer the eggs to a plate and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
