Ingredients
Butter
2 teaspoons (or to taste, can omit and use vegetable spray)
Large eggs
4 (fresh)
Milk
2 tablespoons (low-fat milk is okay to use)
Baking powder
1/8 teaspoon (optional, can increase to 1/4 teaspoon)
Salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)
Black pepper
to taste (fresh coarse ground)
Low-fat cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (grated, optional)
Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined and frothy. Allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
2
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until it is sizzling and fragrant. Alternatively, spray the skillet with vegetable spray for a lighter option.
3
Give the egg mixture another quick whisk, then gently fold in the grated cheese if desired to create a rich, creamy texture.
4
Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Using a small heat-proof spatula, continuously stir the eggs gently. Cook until they reach your desired consistency, ensuring not to overcook, as the eggs will continue to set off the heat.
5
Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the eggs onto a warm plate. Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper or herbs if desired.
