Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk or skim milk
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue to do this in intervals, letting the unset eggs flow to the edges of the pan.
Step 5
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 6
Fold the eggs over the cheese gently, turning them to fully incorporate the melted cheese into the scrambled eggs.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly creamy, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh chives if using. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
