Ingredients

  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 Sandwich bun or English muffin
  • 1 tablespoon Optional: hot sauce or ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Beat together until well blended.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook gently without stirring for the first minute, then gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula to form soft curds.

Step 4

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

While the eggs are cooking, toast your sandwich bun or English muffin until golden brown.

Step 7

If desired, spread a layer of hot sauce or ketchup on one or both sides of the toasted bun.

Step 8

Spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of the bun or muffin. Top with the other half.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade egg and cheese sandwich.
