Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

Step 3: Pour in the Eggs

Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let them sit undisturbed for about 10–15 seconds so the edges start to set.

Step 4: Stir Gently

Using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this process slowly, allowing the eggs to form soft curds. Avoid over-stirring; you want large, creamy folds, not tiny broken-up pieces.

Step 5: Add the Cheese

When the eggs are partially set but still slightly runny, sprinkle your shredded cheese evenly over the eggs. The residual heat will melt the cheese, making the eggs extra creamy. If you want gooey cheese, add it a bit earlier; if you prefer melted pockets, add it a bit later.

Step 6: Finish Cooking

Continue cooking the eggs on low heat, gently folding them over, until they reach your desired consistency. Remember, eggs continue to cook even after you remove them from the pan, so it’s better to take them off slightly softer than you think.

Step 7: Plate and Garnish

Transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs onto a plate immediately to prevent overcooking. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of color and flavor. Serve hot with toast, avocado slices, or breakfast sausage for a complete meal.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

1. Low and slow wins: Cooking eggs on low heat ensures they stay soft and creamy.
2. Fresh cheese matters: Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents, which can affect melting. Grate your cheese fresh for the best texture.
3. Don’t overcook: Eggs should look slightly wet when you remove them from the pan—they’ll finish cooking on the plate.
4. Experiment with flavors: Add sautéed mushrooms, diced tomatoes, or cooked bacon for a savory twist.
