Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 6 whole cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Wash and slice the cherry tomatoes into halves. Grate the cheddar cheese if not already shredded. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the sliced cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs to create soft curds. Continue stirring occasionally until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold to combine. Allow the cheese to melt into the eggs for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the scrambled eggs.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately with toast or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
