Steps

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, pour in the egg mixture.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center.
When the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Continue cooking and folding the eggs until fully cooked but still soft and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Tips for Cheesy Buttered Scrambled Eggs

The eggs are ready when they look glossy and form soft, moist curds; they will continue setting briefly after leaving the pan.
A small non-stick skillet and flexible silicone spatula make it easier to form tender curds without sticking.
Shred cheese finely so it melts quickly and distributes evenly through the eggs.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp bubbles balance the buttery richness and complement the melted cheese.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot, though the eggs may become firmer.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my scrambled eggs turn watery?

They may have been cooked too long or held after cooking. Serve as soon as the curds are softly set, since they continue cooking briefly off the heat.
