Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped spinach
- ¼ cup cooked bacon
- Fresh herbs
Seasonings and Accompaniments:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Toast
- Avocado slices
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl, whisk thoroughly with ¼ cup milk until completely blended and slightly frothy. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper.
- If adding vegetables, dice ¼ cup bell peppers and onions. Sauté them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly translucent.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked egg mixture, allowing it to sit for 15 seconds without stirring.
- Use a silicone spatula to gently push eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft curds. Continue this motion every 10-15 seconds, cooking for 2-3 minutes total.
- When eggs are almost set but still slightly wet, sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheese across the surface. Remove skillet from heat and let residual warmth finish melting the cheese.
- Transfer scrambled eggs to a warm plate. Top with fresh chopped herbs or crumbled bacon if desired. Serve immediately with buttered toast and avocado slices.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly with a fork to incorporate air, creating fluffier scrambled eggs.
- Use low-medium heat when cooking eggs to prevent overcooking and maintain a creamy texture.
- For a dairy-free version, swap cheese with nutritional yeast or skip dairy additions completely.
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can elevate the flavor profile and add a bright, fresh element to the dish.
