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.
