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
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the whole milk until fully blended and frothy to incorporate air for fluffy texture.
- Season the eggs: Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring gently to evenly distribute the seasonings without deflating the mixture.
- Melt the butter: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Start cooking the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the bottom layer to begin setting gently.
- Fold in the eggs and cheese: Use a spatula to gently stir and fold the eggs as they cook, creating soft curds. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Finish cooking: Continue to cook and gently fold the eggs until they are just set and creamy, ensuring they do not overcook. Remove from heat promptly.
- Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs onto the toast slices and garnish with chopped fresh chives and halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh and colorful presentation.
Notes
- Cook the eggs over medium-low heat to achieve a soft and creamy texture without browning.
- Whisking the eggs well and incorporating milk helps create fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs; remove them from heat when still slightly runny for the best creaminess.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or feta for variation.
- Serving with toast adds a satisfying crunch and extra substance to the dish.
