Sharp knife (adult needed)

Small bowl

Fork or whisk

Large skillet or frying pan (nonstick, if you have one)
-
Measuring spoons
-
Rubber spatula

Potholder
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, flat-leaf parsley, or cilantro leaves. If no fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon dried basil.
- 1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or swiss cheese (Whatever kind you like is good.)
Instructions
-
Crack each egg on the rim of the bowl and add it to the bowl. Throw away the shell.
-
Using a fork or whisk, gently beat the eggs until they are golden yellow, about 1 minute.
-
Place the skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
-
Let it heat up and after about 2 minutes, carefully add the oil.
-
Add the beaten eggs to the pan and when the edges start to get firm, add the herbs and cheeses.
-
Using spatula, move the eggs around so that the raw part touches the bottom of the pan and gets cooked.
-
Keep moving the eggs around until the eggs aren’t runny anymore, about 4 minutes in all. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
