Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mild cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and let cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
- Using a spatula, gently push cooked eggs from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Repeat until eggs are mostly set but still soft.
- Sprinkle cheese over the eggs and remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts.
- Gently fold eggs to incorporate melted cheese, then serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the eggs.
- Serve with warm tortillas, refried beans, and salsa.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easiest cleanup.
