Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup skim milk
- 0.5 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the skim milk.
Step 2
Whisk the eggs and milk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Stir in the salt and black pepper, mixing well to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
Step 4
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-low heat.
Step 5
Once the skillet is warm, pour in the egg mixture.
Step 6
Allow the eggs to cook for about 1-2 minutes, undisturbed, until they begin to set at the edges.
Step 7
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling them across the pan to form soft curds.
Step 8
Continue gently stirring the eggs every few seconds, allowing them to cook but not brown.
Step 9
As the eggs start to set but are still slightly runny, sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 10
Fold the cheese into the eggs until it begins to melt and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist. This should take another 1-2 minutes.
Step 11
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Step 12
Serve the low fat scrambled eggs with cheese immediately, garnished with an optional sprinkle of black pepper.
