Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Heat the unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbly, but not browned.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs by pushing them from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds.
- Continue cooking, gently stirring the eggs every few seconds, until they are mostly set but still slightly runny (about 2-3 minutes).
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh herbs over the eggs. Stir gently until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked to your desired doneness.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, for a unique flavor twist.
- Serve the scrambled eggs on a toasted English muffin or alongside crispy bacon for a heartier breakfast.
