Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 tablespoon salted butter
¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
Chives to garnish (optional)

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk vigorously for 1 minute.
Melt the butter over LOW heat in an 7-inch nonstick skillet. Wait until it begins to foam.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the eggs.
Whisk the top of the eggs vigorously again, try not to touch down on the bottom of the pan.
Return the pan to the heat. Continue to whisk the eggs until the top is very foamy. Sprinkle the cheese on top and whisk to incorporate.
Let the bottom of the eggs set for 5-7 seconds. Run a silicone spatula from the edge of the pan into the middle. Tilt the pan so that the uncooked eggs can slide onto the surface area that you just created with the spatula.
Continue to slide the cooked eggs into the middle with the spatula and rotate to allow uncooked eggs to hit the surface pan.
After about 30 seconds or so, the eggs will be mostly set. Remove them from the heat. The heat from the pan will finish cooking them. Gently fold the eggs so that any remaining wet spots touch the pan and finish setting.
Create 'slices' with the spatula to create smaller bites that will resemble a scramble.
Season with salt/pepper (and chives if desired), and transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately!

Notes

About 1/2 Tablespoon of heavy cream, sour cream, or cream cheese may be added when the eggs are added to the pan.

7-inch Cuisinart Nonstick Skillet- This is the kind that I use and is the perfect size for making 2 scrambled eggs. An 8-inch skillet will work as well.
Silicone Spatula. This is the best way to handle the eggs gently enough to preserve the air pockets, which keeps them fluffy!
White Serving Platters- The small one here is what I use for serving up a nice breakfast platter of eggs, toast, and sausage/bacon.
