Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and start to bubble gently.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit, without stirring, for about 1 minute or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the spatula across the bottom of the pan. Continue to stir occasionally until the eggs begin to form soft curds.
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Allow the cheese to melt into the eggs, stirring occasionally to incorporate it fully.
Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency and the cheese is fully melted, remove the skillet from the heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and top each serving with salsa.
Serve immediately while warm.
