Ingredients- 2 fresh eggs
- 60ml milk (preferably warm)
- Grana Padano cheese (grated)
- 0.5g salt (about a pinch)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 5g unsalted butter (about 1 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather and prepare all your ingredients. Using eggs at room temperature can result in fluffier scrambled eggs. Grating the Grana Padano cheese beforehand will save you time during cooking.
Step 2
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a clean bowl. Add about a pinch (0.5g) of salt.
Step 3
Season with freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Pour in 60ml of warm milk. Whisk gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined and the mixture is smooth. The milk helps create a softer, more tender texture.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the 5g of unsalted butter and a tiny splash of cooking oil (optional). Let the butter melt and coat the pan, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Step 5
Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture into the heated pan. It’s crucial to maintain medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly.
Step 6
As the edges of the eggs begin to set, use a spatula or chopsticks to gently stir and fold the eggs. Create soft curds by slowly pushing the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Avoid vigorous stirring.
Step 7
When the eggs are still slightly wet and glistening – appearing slightly undercooked – reduce the heat to low or briefly remove the pan from the heat. Generously sprinkle the grated Grana Padano cheese over the eggs.
Step 8
Gently fold the cheese into the eggs until it starts to melt. Continue cooking until the scrambled eggs reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook, as this will cause the eggs to lose moisture and become dry and rubbery. The key to perfect scrambled eggs is a creamy, moist texture.
Step 9
Transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs to a serving plate. For an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal, grate more fresh Grana Padano cheese over the top. If you have fresh herbs like parsley or chives, a little sprinkle can add a beautiful garnish and fresh aroma.
