The method

Step by step

1
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
2
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
3
Whisk the egg mixture vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Whisking well incorporates air, leading to fluffier eggs.
4
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Using medium-low heat helps prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly and becoming rubbery.
5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
6
Let the eggs set for about 30 seconds without stirring.
7
Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Continue this process, folding and stirring gently, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
9
Continue to gently fold for another 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Remove from heat just before they are fully set, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
10
Serve immediately.
