Description
Creamy, fluffy eggs infused with melted cheese, cooked gently for a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. This quick, fuss-free recipe delivers comforting breakfast or brunch magic with just five ingredients.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite meltable cheese)
Pinch of sugar (optional, to balance tanginess of cheese)
Instructions
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat
Whisk eggs, milk/cream, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using) in a bowl
Pour mixture into skillet, reduce heat to low
Cook slowly stirring with a figure-8 motion until slight bubbles form
Sprinkle cheese over eggs and continue stirring until fully melted and eggs are just set
Remove from heat while still slightly soft for best texture
Notes
Use fresh room-temperature eggs for even cooking
Cheddar provides ideal sharpness, but try Gouda or Havarti for different flavor
Add herbs like chives or thyme with the cheese
