Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Garnishes and Serving
- 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 to introduce air and ensure fluffiness.
- Season the Mixture: Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and stir gently to evenly incorporate the seasonings for balanced flavor.
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, then add butter and allow it to melt completely, ensuring the bottom is coated to prevent sticking.
- Start Cooking the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom layer to set gently.
- Fold in Cheese and Cook: Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs to form soft curds, then sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs for a creamy texture.
- Finish Scrambling: Continue to gently fold the eggs until they are just set but still creamy, then promptly remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Serve: Plate the scrambled eggs over slices of toast and garnish with chopped fresh chives and halved cherry tomatoes for freshness and color.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, whisk the eggs vigorously to incorporate more air before cooking.
- Use medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from browning and maintain a creamy texture.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like mozzarella or gouda.
- Cherry tomatoes add a fresh, tangy contrast but can be omitted or replaced with sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as scrambled eggs can become rubbery if left to sit.
