Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup fresh salsa
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the heavy cream, and whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, whisking again to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the butter is melted, add the egg mixture to the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a moment to start cooking at the edges.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to fill the space.

Step 6

When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Continue to gently stir and fold the eggs until they are cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates, spooning fresh salsa on top of each serving.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
