Perfect Scrambled Eggs

1Crack the eggs (4) into a bowl and whisk them until well combined.

2In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter (2 tablespoons) over medium heat.

3Pour the whisked eggs (4) into the skillet and let them cook for a few seconds without stirring.

4Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs (4), folding them over themselves to create soft curds.

5Continue to stir and fold the eggs (4) until they are just set but still slightly creamy.

6Pour in the milk (¼ cup) and continue to stir for another minute to incorporate the milk (¼ cup) and make the eggs (4) extra creamy.

7Season the eggs (4) with black pepper (¼ teaspoon) and add the shredded cheese (¼ cup) if desired, stirring until the cheese is melted.

8Remove the skillet from heat and let the eggs (4) rest for a minute to finish cooking off the heat.
