HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

03

Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

04

Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.

05

Add the 1 cup of cubed Pão de Queijo to the scrambled eggs and gently fold them in, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese bread is warmed through.

06

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.

07

Serve immediately and enjoy your Brazilian Cheese Bread Skillet Scramble.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. Ensure your Pão de Queijo is fully cooked and cooled before cubing for the best texture in the scramble.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If Pão de Queijo is unavailable, you can use 1 cup of cubed mozzarella or provolone cheese for a similar cheesy texture, though the flavor will be different. Any type of milk can be used, or even water for a lighter scramble.
