Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 pieces green chilies (finely chopped, deseeded for less heat if preferred)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling it to coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Add the chopped green chilies to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges of the pan. Repeat this process over low heat, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Once the cheese is fully melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Divide the eggs between two plates.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
