HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornmeal, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

02

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.

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

05

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the eggs. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

06

Remove from heat and divide the scramble between two plates. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the egg mixture. Ensure your skillet is truly non-stick for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to use cheddar cheese or a blend of your favorite melting cheeses instead of mozzarella. A splash of cream can be used in place of milk for a richer scramble. If you don't have fine cornmeal, you can use corn flour, but the texture will be slightly different.

Storage & Reheating

This scramble is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture may change upon reheating. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
