Fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs loaded with melted sharp cheddar cheese. A classic, comforting American breakfast that comes together in under 10 minutes. Perfect with a side of toast and bacon.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously for about 60 seconds until the mixture is pale yellow, uniform in consistency, and slightly frothy. This incorporates air for fluffier eggs.
Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely until it's foamy but not browning, which should take about 60-90 seconds. Swirl the pan to coat the entire surface.
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the warm skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds, just until the edges begin to set slightly.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the cooked eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center. Tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces. Continue this gentle pushing and folding motion for 2-3 minutes until large, soft curds form.
When the eggs are about 80% cooked (still looking moist and slightly runny), remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Gently fold the eggs a few more times off the heat. The residual heat from the pan will melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs to a perfect, creamy consistency in about 30-60 seconds. Do not return the pan to the stove.
Immediately transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve hot.
