Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and discard the shells.
- Add the milk to the bowl with the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.
- Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper to taste. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat it evenly with the melted butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for a few moments until they just begin to set around the edges.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling them from the edges towards the center. Continue this process, allowing the eggs to set slightly between stirs, until they are mostly cooked but still soft and slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the partially cooked eggs.
- Gently fold the eggs a few more times until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and creamy.
- While the eggs are cooking or immediately afterwards, toast the slices of white bread until they are golden brown. You can use a toaster or place them in the oven under the broiler.
- Arrange a slice or two of toast on each plate.
- Spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs over the toast.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of extra cheese, a few herbs, or an extra pinch of pepper for presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious cheesy scrambled eggs with toast!
Tips:
- Use good quality, fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
- Whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Cook the eggs on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a creamy texture.
- Stir the eggs gently and continuously for soft curds.
- Add the cheese just before the eggs are fully set to melt it perfectly without making the eggs rubbery.
- Toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness before serving.
