Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar, shredded
  • ¼ cup gruyère, shredded
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, tilting to coat the bottom and sides.

  2. 2

    Whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and chives until combined, about 30 seconds. Pour into the hot skillet.

  3. 3

    Scatter cheddar and gruyère evenly over the eggs. Let cook on the stovetop for 2 minutes without stirring until the bottom just starts to set.

  4. 4

    Slide the skillet into the oven and bake for 9–11 minutes until the top is set but the center jiggles slightly when you shake the pan.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven. The edges should look golden and pull slightly from the skillet sides.

  6. 6

    Slide onto a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve hot.
