Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well-combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around until it has melted and coats the bottom of the skillet.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for about 30 seconds without stirring, allowing the edges to set slightly.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the skillet. Continue to cook, folding the eggs over themselves occasionally, until they are mostly set but still slightly creamy.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Fold the eggs again to incorporate the cheese, letting it melt into the eggs for an additional 30 seconds to a minute.

Step 6

Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

Step 7

Divide the cheesy eggs onto two plates. Garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired, and serve immediately.
