Ingredients:

3 eggs
170g
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
27g
2 onions
50g
1/4 tsp white pepper
0.60g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the white pepper and salt to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely blended and the mixture is slightly frothy.
2. Prepping the Scallions:
- Wash the scallions well under cold water.
- Trim off the root ends and any wilted parts.
- Finely chop the scallions and set them aside.
3. Cooking the Eggs:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or cooking oil if you are using it.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour in the whisked eggs.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few seconds until they just begin to set around the edges.
4. Scrambling Process:
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
5. Adding Cheese and Scallions:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Add the chopped scallions over the cheese.
- Gently fold the eggs over the cheese and scallions, mixing everything together.
6. Final Cook:
- Continue to cook the eggs for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy.
7. Serving:
- Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Serve the scrambled eggs with cheddar and scallions hot, straight from the skillet.

Tips:

- For fluffier scrambled eggs, try adding a tablespoon of milk or cream to the egg mixture before cooking.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

- Cook the eggs on a low to medium heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a creamy texture.

- Continuously stir the eggs gently while cooking to create soft curds.

- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like diced tomatoes, mushrooms, or bell peppers for added flavor and nutrition.
