Super-Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

4 ingredients
19 steps

Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 ounce (about 1/4 cup) reduced-fat finely shredded Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese (I used Sargento Shredded Reduced-Fat Four-Cheese Italian Blend)
  • Pepper, to taste (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Lightly mist a small microwave-safe bowl with spray.
  2. 2
    Add the egg whites and microwave for 30 seconds on low.
  3. 3
    Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just a bit runny on top.
  4. 4
    Then, using a fork, stir them to break into large scrambled pieces.
  5. 5
    By the time you scramble and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness.
  6. 6
    If they are still undercooked, microwave them in 10-second intervals until no liquid remains.
  7. 7
    Wait about 10 seconds after cooking to make sure the eggs are completely cooked and no moisture remains.
  8. 8
    Stir the cheese into the eggs until the cheese is well combined and melted.
  9. 9
    Season with pepper, if desired.
  10. 10
    Serve immediately.
  11. 11
    Follow the directions above, but instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.
