Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.

Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.

Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the eggs from the edges to the center.

When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
