Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until it begins to set around the edges.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds. Continue cooking and stirring intermittently for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if using.

Step 9

Serve the Eggs Monterey immediately with toasted bread, tortillas, or your favorite breakfast sides. Enjoy!
