Ingredients

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1
    3 count large eggs
  • 2
    2 tbsp tablespoons
  • 3
    0.25 cup cup
  • 4
    2 tbsp tablespoons
  • 5
    0.25 cup cup

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.25 tsp teaspoon
  • 2
    0.125 tsp teaspoon

Directions

1

Whisk Eggs

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Be careful not to include any shell fragments. Whisk them vigorously with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. The color should be a uniform light yellow.

2

Add Liquid and Seasoning

Pour milk into the whisked eggs. Add salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine. Do not overmix.

3

Melt Butter

Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-low heat. Add butter and allow it to melt completely. The pan is ready when the melted butter begins to shimmer. Be careful not to let the butter burn; reduce heat if necessary. Safety warning: The pan and butter will be hot!

Pour Egg Mixture

Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges begin to set. You'll see the cooked egg starting to look firm around the edges.

5

Cook Eggs Gently

Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. This prevents overcooking and creates creamy curds. 'Set' means the eggs are no longer runny.

6

Add Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the eggs. Continue to cook for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and gooey. You'll see the cheese melt into the eggs.

7

Serve Eggs

Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the cheesy scrambled eggs immediately. They will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat. If needed, use a spatula to gently transfer the eggs to a plate.

Recipe Tips

  • For extra fluffy eggs, add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
  • If you don’t have a non-stick skillet, use a regular skillet with a little extra butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cheese.
  • Store leftover eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Be sure to wash your hands and all utensils after handling raw eggs.
