Crack the eggs into a bowl.

Add the salt and pepper to the bowl.

If using, add the milk or cream now.

Whisk the mixture gently with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined. Don't over-whisk!

Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

Pour the egg mixture into the warm pan.

Let the edges start to set slightly, then gently push the cooked egg towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Continue this process, stirring gently, until the eggs are mostly set but still look moist.

If using, sprinkle the grated cheese over the eggs just before they are fully cooked, allowing it to melt slightly.

Remove the pan from the heat immediately when they reach your desired consistency (they will continue to cook slightly off the heat).

Serve hot and enjoy your lovely scrambled eggs!
