Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk or cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center. Continue this motion in intervals to allow soft curds to form.
When the eggs are about 75% cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle in the grated cheddar cheese and fold it gently into the eggs.
Once the eggs are fully cooked but still fluffy and moist, remove the pan from heat to prevent overcooking.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates. Garnish with chopped chives and fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately with toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
