Extra Protein Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
• 2 tablespoons milk (use skim or almond milk for a lighter option)
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: Fresh herbs, diced tomatoes, or avocado for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and egg whites. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk vigorously until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or oil and allow it to melt.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.
4. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center. Continue stirring occasionally until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and let it melt as you continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6. Transfer to a plate and garnish with your choice of fresh herbs, diced tomatoes, or avocado.
