🥘Ingredients

For the Eggs

4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

👨‍🍳Directions

1Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are well beaten and frothy.
2Place a nonstick skillet over medium low heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt and coat the pan.
3Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook without stirring for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.
4Using a spatula, gently push the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this motion, letting the uncooked egg flow to the edges.
5When the eggs are mostly set but still a bit wet, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Gently fold the eggs to distribute the cheese.
6Remove the skillet from the heat once the cheese is melted and the eggs are creamy. Serve immediately.
