Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture
  • 4 large large eggs Fresh eggs will give the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese Cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese works well.
  • 1/4 cup milk Whole milk adds creaminess; alternatives like almond or oat milk can be used.
  • to taste salt To enhance the dish.
  • to taste pepper To enhance the dish.
  • 1 tablespoon butter For a rich flavor and non-stick surface.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. You want the mixture to be a uniform yellow color with slightly frothy edges—this should take about 30 seconds.
  2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and starts to sizzle gently—this takes around 1-2 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently. You want to keep an eye on them as they begin to set in about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally and be sure not to rush this step to achieve that fluffy texture.
  2. Add the cheese and continue to cook, stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, about 2-3 more minutes. Look for the eggs to create soft curds that are tender when pierced.
  3. Serve immediately on a plate, enjoying them hot while they are still creamy and cheesy.

Notes

For richer flavors, opt for aged cheeses. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for about a month.
