Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Wash the scallions well under cold water.
- Trim off the root ends and any wilted parts.
- Finely chop the scallions and set them aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
