Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg whites and milk. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 2
Stir in the salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat evenly.
Step 4
Once the butter has melted and started to foam, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Step 5
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until they begin to set around the edges.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges toward the center of the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny.
Step 7
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still soft, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 8
Continue to cook, folding the eggs over the cheese, until the cheese melts and the eggs are just cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scramble sit for about a minute to finish cooking from residual heat.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
