4.4 from 75 reviews

A quick and delicious recipe for cheesy scrambled eggs, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. Fluffy eggs cooked gently with creamy cheddar cheese create a savory, comforting dish that’s easy to make in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy, ensuring a fluffy texture in the final dish.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan evenly to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  3. Cook eggs initially: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few moments until it begins to set around the edges, which helps to create soft curds.
  4. Gently stir the eggs: Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this slow stirring process while cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny for optimal creaminess.
  5. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs and gently fold it in to incorporate. Continue cooking for another minute until the cheese melts and the eggs are cooked through but remain soft and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs to a warm plate. Serve right away for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and keep the eggs soft.
  • For extra creaminess, add a splash more milk or a dollop of cream cheese.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar with your favorite cheese such as mozzarella or feta.
  • Serve with toast or fresh herbs like chives for added flavor and texture.
