[my] scrambled eggs



8 large eggs or 7 extra large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed in palm
2 tsp. garlic powder
1-2 pinches red chili flakes
3 tb. unsalted butter
2 big pinches salt
1/2 cup gratted cheddar cheese
2 tsp. chives, chopped
black pepper

1.Take the butter out of the fridge to allow it to soften.
2.Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl and begin whisking them. Add milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chili flakes and whisk until everything is thoroughly mixed. Add most of the cheese (reserve a small palmful) and gently mix the eggs until the cheese is well distributed.
3.Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter to the pan. After about 5 minutes all the butter should be melted and slightly foamy and the pan should be ready. Test the heat by dribbling a droplet of the egg mixture into the pan. The egg should turn opaque upon contact and cook in literally 2 seconds.
4.Lower the heat to a medium-low heat. Pour the egg-cheese mixture into the pan and immediately begin stirring the eggs in the pan in a circular motion. Make sure, as you stir, that you stir up any egg that cooks and sticks on the sides or on the bottom of the pan. Keep everything moving slowly, gently, and steadily.
5.After about 4 minutes (the cooking process is very, very quick), the eggs should look just a smidgen under cooked. At this point, turn off the heat, but continue stirring. The eggs will continue to cook some more.
6.Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the eggs. Garnish with the chives.

p/s pagi lagi (dah lah sejuk) kita masak tapi orang yang beriya nak makan tak nak bangun, lain kali masak sendiri.
