Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the skim milk and fresh ground black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, tilting the pan to ensure the whole surface is coated.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for a few moments until it just begins to set around the edges.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping from the edges towards the center. Continue to cook the eggs on low heat, stirring gently and frequently, to prevent the eggs from sticking and ensure they cook evenly.
Step 5
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the low-sodium cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Continue to cook while stirring gently until the cheese is melted and the eggs are soft and creamy.
Step 6
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat just before they reach your desired consistency, as they will continue to cook for a few moments off the heat.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and more black pepper if desired, then serve immediately while hot.
