Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Prepared salsa
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few moments, and once it begins to set around the edges, use a spatula to gently stir and push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the skillet.
As the eggs continue to cook, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, until they are softly set and the cheese is melted.
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook with the residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and top with spoonfuls of prepared salsa.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
