Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup prepared salsa
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, and add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set at the edges.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs towards the center of the skillet from the edges. Continue to do this in a slow and gentle folding motion until the eggs are mostly cooked, but still soft and slightly runny.
Step 5
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, and gently fold the eggs once more to melt the cheese slightly.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny. Residual heat will finish the cooking process, leaving the eggs creamy.
Step 7
Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates and top each serving with prepared salsa.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if using, and serve immediately.
