These are the easiest, creamiest Cheesy Eggs. If you are tired of boring and dry eggs, THIS is the recipe you need. The truth is, as simple as 🥚 eggs are to make, people can really struggle with them. Every time I post my eggs on stories and social media I get a ton of requests on how I make them. I have noticed more and more people 😕 struggle, so because of that, I’ve created this recipe tutorial. It’s a game-changer! Eggs in my opinion should be creamy, light, airy, and cheesy so this recipe is my exact method to achieving that. This method is very similar to the French omelet method which is my absolute favorite way to make them.
Why You’ll Love Cheesy Eggs
These Cheesy Eggs 🥚 are inspired by the 🇫🇷 French omelet method, which is a classic technique for making a delicate, fluffy, and creamy omelet. You will find that by whisking the eggs for up to a minute and then slowly cooking them over low heat your eggs will come up perfect every time. The results speak for themselves: there are NO dry eggs ever around here! Instead, only fluffy, creamy eggs that are perfectly cheesy every bite.
How to Prepare Cheesy Eggs
🧈 Start by placing a pan on medium-low heat, add some butter and then let it melt.
🥣 In a separate bowl whisk 2-3 eggs with a fork for about a minute.
🥚 Now, add the eggs to the pan and then gently move them around with a spatula for a few seconds.
🌀 Lift the pan off the heat and then move it around to redistribute the rest of the loose eggs.
🔥 Place the pan back on the heat and let the eggs set a bit.
🧀 Next, add the grated cheese on top and then a pinch of salt (if using).
😋 When the sides can easily lift, use a spatula to gently fold the eggs starting from one side just like you would fold a crêpe then serve and enjoy!
Nonna’s Tip 🥚
The more you whisk your eggs, the lighter and more airy they will be. I like whisking them for about 30-60 seconds.

Instructions
- In a pan on medium-low heat add some butter and let it melt. In a separate bowl whisk 2-3 eggs for about a minute. The more air we whisk into them, the better. I usually use a fork to do this with until they are nice and airy.
- Add the eggs to the pan and gently move them around with a spatula for a few seconds. As you move them around, you should see egg curds begin to form.
- You can lift the pan off the heat and move it around to redistribute the rest of the loose eggs as per my video below. Place the pan back on the heat and let them set a bit.
- Add the grated cheese on top and optionally a pinch of salt. When the sides can easily lift, you can begin to gently fold the eggs starting from one side just like you would fold a crêpe. You can fold them all the way starting from one end all the way to the other end or you can fold each side towards the middle starting from opposite sides if it’s easier for you. Serve and enjoy.
