Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the base evenly.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
Step 4
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, moving from the outer edges to the center. Sprinkle in the red chili flakes evenly over the eggs.
Step 5
Continue to cook while gently pulling the eggs across the pan with the spatula to form soft curds.
Step 6
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and briefly stir to incorporate.
Step 7
Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are still slightly runny as they will continue to cook from residual heat. This ensures a creamy texture.
Step 8
Garnish with the freshly chopped chives, then serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
