Step 1

Put a frying pan onto a medium heat and put in the butter or oil.

Step 2

Break the eggs into a bowl and beat quickly with a fork.

Step 3

Grate the cheese and have it ready.

Step 4

Tip the beaten eggs into the frying pan.

Step 5

Layer the cheese on top.

Step 6

The eggs will start to solidify almost straight away - as soon as they do use a spatula and ‘pull’ the eggs in from the side to the middle.

Step 7

Repeat the pulling in several times.

Step 8

It doesn’t take long, the idea behind this is you’ll have soft, lightly cooked fresh eggs. It’s hard to undercook an egg really, but very easy to overcook. 2 - 3 minutes cooking time is all you’ll need.

Step 9

When the egg has no ‘watery’ bits left, you’re done! Quickly remove from heat and transfer to plate - preferably on top of some lovely, hot, unbuttered bread.

Step 10

Add some salt and pepper to taste. Done!
