Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère or cheddar
  • 1 tbsp chives

Steps

  1. Whisk eggs with salt until no streaks remain.
  2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and stir gently, pulling edges to the center.
  3. When almost set, add cheese and fold in thirds.
  4. Slide onto a plate and top with chives.

TipKeep the heat at medium so the eggs stay tender, not rubbery.
