Adding a generous handful of cheddar cheese to scrambled eggs transforms them into a richer, creamier and more indulgent breakfast, according to a recipe feature by What's On reporter Vita Molyneux.
The simple addition requires minimal extra effort and works with virtually any cheese variety, though cheddar is preferred because it is usually available in most fridges. Softer cheeses such as feta or gruyère also work well, as they melt most effectively.
Simple ingredients and quantities
For four eggs, roughly a quarter of a cup of grated cheese is enough to achieve a creamier, more flavoursome result. The full ingredient list includes four eggs, one quarter cup of grated cheese, one tablespoon of butter, and salt and pepper.
Step-by-step method
Whisk the eggs together in a small bowl. Melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan over a medium heat, then add the eggs and stir consistently to scramble them.
After about two minutes, the eggs should come together in a soft scramble. Add the cheese and keep stirring until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
