Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of butter, and chopped chives for garnish.
- Crack the 4 eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined, creating a uniform mixture.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the beaten eggs according to your taste preferences. Mix well to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
- In a non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and place it over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the butter is melted and starts to bubble slightly, pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the eggs to set slightly.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges of the skillet toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the eggs while they are still slightly runny. Continue to gently stir until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked to your desired consistency.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Taste the scrambled eggs and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs and cheese to serving plates. Garnish with chopped chives for a fresh touch.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying your delicious Zap It Scrambled Eggs and Cheese!
Tips
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature for the most even cooking and fluffiest texture.
- Don't overcook your eggs - remove them from heat when they're still slightly runny, as they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Choose a good quality, melting cheese like cheddar, monterey jack, or a blend for maximum flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Season your eggs gradually and taste as you go to avoid over-salting.
- Chop chives just before garnishing to maintain their fresh flavor and vibrant color.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture - scrambled eggs are always best enjoyed hot and fresh!
