Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture until the egg yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting around the edges.

Step 6

Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, forming soft curds.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Add the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.

Step 9

Stir gently to incorporate the cheese and finish cooking the eggs to your desired doneness.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the eggs rest for a moment to fully melt the cheese.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
