Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the whole milk and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are well combined and frothy.
Step 3
Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges, for about 4-5 minutes.
Step 7
When the eggs are about half-cooked, sprinkle the low-sodium cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Step 8
Continue folding the eggs gently until they reach a soft, creamy consistency and the cheese has melted completely.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the eggs sit for a few seconds to finish cooking from the residual heat.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
