Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Milk or Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Butter
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Preparation

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cooking the Eggs

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Adding the Cheese

As the eggs begin to set, gently push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly moist. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.

Finishing and Serving

Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will melt the cheese completely. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra pepper or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    Yes, you can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or Gruyere.
  • Can I add vegetables to this recipe?

    Absolutely! Feel free to add chopped vegetables like onions, peppers, or spinach for added flavor and nutrients. Sauté them lightly before adding the eggs.
  • How do I prevent the eggs from becoming too dry?

    Cook the eggs over medium-low heat and avoid overcooking. They should be slightly moist when you remove them from the heat as they will continue to cook from the residual heat.
