Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Green chilies (diced, canned or fresh)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.
Step 4
Gently push the cooked edges toward the center of the pan using a rubber spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow outwards. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Step 5
Add the diced green chilies and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Fold the eggs gently to incorporate the added ingredients.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the green chili eggs immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
