Cheddar cheese scramble is a classic and simple dish that combines the creamy texture of scrambled eggs with the rich and flavorful addition of cheddar cheese. It's perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. This recipe is easy to follow and takes just a few minutes to prepare, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced cooks.
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the milk to the bowl with the eggs.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs and milk together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Place a medium non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the pan and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
- Once the butter is melted and starts to slightly bubble, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
- Allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing from the edges towards the center.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are starting to come together but are still slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Continue to cook, gently folding the cheese into the eggs until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
- Once the eggs are cooked through but still moist, remove the pan from the heat.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate.
- Garnish with additional shredded cheddar, chives, or your favorite herbs if desired.
- Serve the cheddar cheese scramble while hot, paired with toast, a side of fresh fruit, or your favorite breakfast accompaniments.
Tips:
- Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier scramble.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air and achieve a light, airy texture.
- Cook the eggs over low heat and stir constantly to avoid overcooking and maintain a creamy texture.
- Add the cheddar cheese just before the eggs are fully set to allow it to melt without making the scramble watery.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
With just a few basic ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up a delicious and comforting cheddar cheese scramble. This versatile dish can be customized with additional ingredients like herbs, vegetables, or meats to suit your taste. Enjoy your meal, and don't hesitate to get creative with your scramble!
