- 4 large eggs

How to make Hearty Cheddar & Chive Scrambled Eggs
- In a medium bowl, crack 4 large eggs. Add 2 tablespoons of milk or half-and-half, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and 0.125 teaspoon black pepper.
- Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk for 1 minute until the eggs are completely blended and slightly frothy, which helps to incorporate air for fluffier results.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Ensure the butter coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30-60 seconds, allowing the edges to just begin to set.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges of the pan towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process every 15-20 seconds.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist and creamy, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives.
- Continue to gently fold the eggs for another 30 seconds; the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs and melt the cheese to your desired consistency.
- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately on warm plates. They are delicious alongside toast, bacon, or breakfast potatoes.
