Eggs with cheese are made by gently scrambling eggs in a pan and stirring in cheese near the end. Cook the beaten eggs over medium-low heat until softly set, add the cheese, and take the pan off the heat while the eggs are still moist.
Cheddar, feta, and other cheeses that melt or crumble easily all work well in Eggs with cheese. Cheddar gives a smooth, stretchy texture, while feta stays in salty, tangy pieces. Taste before adding salt, especially when using feta.
Add cheese to Eggs with cheese when the eggs are nearly set but still a little soft. The residual heat melts the cheese without overcooking the eggs. Crumble feta in gently; stir shredded cheddar just enough to distribute it.
Cook Eggs with cheese over low to medium-low heat and remove the pan before the eggs look completely dry. Stir slowly and add the cheese near the end; high heat and prolonged cooking make the eggs firm and can cause the cheese to separate.
Eggs with cheese can turn watery if you use a wet cheese or cook the eggs too slowly for too long. Drain brined cheese before adding it, use moderate heat, and take the pan off the stove as soon as the eggs are softly set.
No, Eggs with cheese are usually stirred or scrambled in the pan, while a cheese omelet is cooked as a folded or flat egg layer with cheese inside. You can use similar ingredients, but the cooking method gives each dish a different texture.
Serve Eggs with cheese with toast, sliced tomatoes, avocado, or sautéed vegetables. A crisp, fresh side balances the soft, rich eggs, while toast is useful for scooping them up. Add herbs or black pepper at the end for extra flavor.
Eggs with cheese are best cooked just before serving, because reheating tends to make the eggs firm and the cheese oily. For a quicker breakfast, grate or crumble the cheese and prepare any toppings ahead, then cook the eggs fresh in a few minutes.
Leftover Eggs with cheese can be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Refrigerate them promptly rather than leaving them out, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is hot throughout.
Freezing Eggs with cheese is not recommended because thawing can make the eggs spongy and the cheese watery or crumbly. For the best texture, make only what you need; refrigerate leftovers briefly and reheat them gently in a pan.

Eggs with cheese is a simple Turkish-style breakfast dish made by cooking eggs with crumbled or grated cheese in a pan. The cheese varies by household: a salty white cheese gives it a tangier flavour, while a melting cheese makes the mixture softer and more cohesive.
It is usually served hot, with bread and other breakfast favourites such as tomatoes and olives; it also makes an easy meal at any time of day. Eggs and cheese make it a filling source of protein and calcium. Since the amount of cooking fat can add richness, use a light hand with butter or oil and serve it with fresh vegetables for a less heavy plate.
