Instructions

Instructions

  • In a small bowl whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 Tbsp milk, and salt & pepper to taste until just blended.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until hot. Add 2 tsp butter and let it melt and coat the surface.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed just until the edges begin to set.
  • Using a spatula, gently pull the set eggs from the edges toward the center to form large, soft curds. Tilt the pan so uncooked egg flows to the empty areas.
  • Keep the heat low and continue gently pulling and tilting the eggs; cook slowly so they stay light and fluffy.
  • If using shredded cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs when large soft curds have formed so it melts into the eggs.
  • Continue until no visible liquid egg remains but the eggs are still moist; remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
  • Serve immediately, seasoning with additional salt & pepper to taste if desired.

Notes

Chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, basil, or cilantro. Add them while the eggs are cooking.
You can also addsalsaorpico de gallo. You can add them while the eggs are cooking or spoon them over the top when you serve them.
Or add some of your favorite hot sauce to give them a spicy kick.
I usually go with shredded cheddar cheese, but you can use grated Parmesan, shredded Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese. Crumbled feta or goat cheese is great, too!
