Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Begin by cracking the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Beat the mixture with a whisk or fork until the eggs are completely blended.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan, but ensure it doesn't brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few moments until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center. Continue doing this around the pan, forming soft curds.
Add the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir them into the eggs, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and continue gently stirring until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. The eggs should be creamy and slightly runny.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the scrambled eggs with chopped chives.
Serve immediately on warm plates and enjoy your delicious vegetarian scrambled eggs with cheese.
