Adding a handful of cheddar cheese to scrambled eggs is the simplest way to make them richer and more delicious. This fridge staple transforms a basic breakfast into a treat with almost no extra effort.
Why cheese works
Cheddar cheese is a popular choice because it's commonly available, but any cheese will work. Softer cheeses like feta or gruyere melt best and are recommended for an even creamier result.
For four eggs, use about a quarter cup of cheese. This amount is enough to enhance the texture and flavour without overwhelming the dish.
Recipe and method
To make this upgraded version, you need four eggs, one tablespoon of butter, a quarter cup of your chosen cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add the eggs and stir consistently to scramble them. After about two minutes, the eggs should start coming together in a soft scramble. Add the cheese and keep stirring until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
