Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Do not overmix.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and shimmering.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and continue to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, gently folding until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook.

  6. 6

    Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh chives.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast sides like toast or fruit.
