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

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