Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Ensure the butter coats the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.

  4. 4

    Using a rubber spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process, folding and stirring the eggs, until they are mostly set but still slightly moist.

  5. 5

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the chopped chives. Cook for another 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates. Garnish with the remaining fresh chives and serve immediately.
