Soft, creamy scrambled eggs with melty cheddar cheese make for a quick and satisfying breakfast. Great on toast or served alongside crispy bacon or fruit.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed until it begins to set around the edges.
- Gently stir the eggs using a spatula, pushing from the edges to the center. Continue cooking and stirring until mostly set but slightly runny.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold to incorporate. Cook another minute until cheese melts and eggs are fully cooked but soft.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately on a warm plate.
Notes
Feel free to add chopped chives, a dash of hot sauce, or even crumbled bacon for a flavorful twist. For fluffier eggs, substitute heavy cream for the milk.
