Base Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with salt and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until they start to set around the edges.

  4. 4

    Scramble or Fry

    Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs or flip them over for a sunny-side-up finish. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes depending on your preferred doneness.

Adding Toppings

  1. 5

    Add Cheese

    If using cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs while they are still in the pan. Allow it to melt slightly.

  2. 6

    Garnish with Green Onions

    Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for added flavor and color.

  3. 7

    Serve with Sriracha

    Drizzle Sriracha sauce over the eggs to taste for an added kick.

  4. 8

    Plate with Avocado

    Slice the avocado and serve it on the side or on top of the eggs for a creamy texture.
