Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
To Serve
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 slices of toast bread
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until fully blended and frothy, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Season the Mixture: Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring gently to incorporate the seasonings evenly throughout.
- Melt Butter in Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely while coating the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook Eggs Initially: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom layer to begin setting.
- Fold in Eggs and Cheese: Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs as they cook, creating soft curds. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs to melt as they cook.
- Finish Cooking: Continue to cook and gently fold the eggs until they are just set, creamy, and fluffy. Remove from heat promptly to avoid overcooking.
- Serve: Plate the scrambled eggs over toasted bread slices and garnish with chopped fresh chives and halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh, flavorful finish.
Notes
- Ensure the pan is on medium-low heat to avoid browning or overcooking the eggs, preserving a soft texture.
- Optional additions like spinach or mushrooms can be added for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use fresh cheese for best melting results and a richer taste.
- Serve immediately for optimal fluffiness and texture.
