Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 cup Low Sodium Cheddar Cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh Salsa
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley or Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, then add the milk. Whisk together until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Grate the low sodium cheddar cheese if not pre-grated and chop the parsley or chives finely. Set them aside.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit, without stirring, for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Step 5
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them across the pan and turning them over slowly. Continue until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle the low sodium cheddar cheese over the eggs and stir gently until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked, yet moist and tender.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and season with black pepper.
Step 8
Spoon the scrambled eggs onto plates and top each serving with a generous spoonful of fresh salsa.
Step 9
Garnish with the chopped parsley or chives before serving hot.
