Tips on Making Scrambled Eggs with Cheese

When we talk about perfect scrambled eggs, some people like it creamy and spreadable, while others prefer it on the drier, firmer side. The great thing about making them at home is that you can easily make it how you like it. But before you make your version of the best scrambled eggs, check out these tips and tricks:

  • Use a rubber spatula and a medium-sized non-stick saute pan lined with Teflon coating and cook it at low heat. With these, you will need to use only a little fat and your eggs will also less likely be easily burnt.
  • Use oil because it doesn’t brown as easily as butter. Canola oil, avocado oil, or olive oil will do. If you want buttery eggs, you can add a cube of butter at the end instead.
  • You can use any cheese or a combination of it that you have on hand. American cheese, cream cheese, parmesan, gouda, or cottage cheese will work well with this recipe. Use as much or as little as you like!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you add cheese to scrambled eggs?

If you’re cooking cheesy scrambled eggs alone without additional ingredients like hash browns, bacon, onions, or peppers, it’ll be good to add the cheese 20 seconds after adding the eggs into the pan. At this point, the bottom of the eggs has already set a bit. This is also to avoid the cheese melting directly into the pan and getting sticky. But if you’re cooking other ingredients ahead of the eggs and cheese, you can add the two together, just like what we did in this recipe.

Should you add milk to scrambled eggs?

It’s not a must, but adding milk to scrambled eggs gives it a bigger leeway from turning from creamy to rubbery. You have the choice to either leave it out or replace it. You can use cream, half and half, or yogurt. They will give your scrambled egg an even richer creamy flavor. But if you prefer lighter options, you can use water or any non-dairy milk. Use 1 tablespoon of water for each egg to make fluffy scrambled eggs.
