Easy to make with wonderful flavor - such good flavor that no salt,pepper or other seasonings are needed. I used Jarlsberg cheese with the egg, and put whole wheat toast on the side. A non-stick skillet is essential. Thank you, Tia, for such a fresh, healthy new way to prepare eggs. I look forward to making this with other cheeses as well!

I've had my eye on this recipe for a few days now, but was really skeptical to try it. But, I gave it a shot this morning. A nonstick pan is ESSENTIAL for this to work. The cheese and water seemed really weird while they were cooking but I kept on going. I added the egg, and started scrambling. As the egg started to set, it seemed weird. And it was bubbling, like cooking cheese! I was starting to wonder if this was going to end up being a flop, all the protein from the eggs and cheese seemed to be squeezing water out. BUT LO! I put the eggs (still kinda.....fluid like) on top of an english muffin I had toasted and buttered, and they began to set up! So a little black pepper goes on top along with a dash or two of Tabasco, and breakfast is served

I just finished the last bite, and though it was good, I'm still not sure if I'm 100% sold on this recipe. The eggs were definitely cheesy (I used Tillamook Cheddar), and I really enjoyed that, but I'm not sure about the texture. They weren't rubbery, but definitely more firm than your typical scrambled egg. I'll have to update once I try them again, perhaps minus the bread, that way I can get a better feel for the texture.

Super easy-really good tasting!! I made a "newbie" mistake of adding the water to a VERY hot skillet and it all boiled out before I could add the cheese! LOL! I figured it out and the results were tasty! Thanks for this recipe!
