Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the egg mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter.

Step 4

Allow the butter to melt but not brown, then tilt the pan to spread the butter evenly.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.

Step 6

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked outer edges towards the center.

Step 7

Continue to cook while stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set, yet still slightly runny.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold the eggs over the cheese.

Step 9

Allow the cheese to melt within the eggs, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are set but still moist, remove the skillet from heat.

Step 11

Transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs to plates and garnish with fresh chives if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy scrambled eggs!
