Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

3. Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in the preheated skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1 minute to set the edges.
5. Use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg flow to the edges—repeat this for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are softly set but still slightly moist. Tip: Don’t over-stir; this keeps the eggs fluffy.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking from residual heat.

Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
For the filling:
– 4 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For assembly:
– 2 pieces naan bread (about 8 inches each)
– 2 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions
1. Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium bowl.
2. Add the 2 tablespoons milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
3. Whisk the egg mixture vigorously with a fork until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
5. Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble slightly, pour in the egg mixture.
6. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
7. Gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
8. Continue this push-and-tilt method for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are softly set but still slightly moist.
9. Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately sprinkle the 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
10. Let the residual heat melt the cheese for 1 minute.
11. Warm the 2 pieces of naan bread in a toaster or dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
12. Place each warmed naan on a clean surface and spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream in the center of each.
13. Divide the cheesy scrambled eggs evenly between the two naan pieces, placing them in a line down the center.
14. Fold the bottom edge of the naan up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly away from you to form a burrito.
15. Serve immediately.
Delightfully fluffy eggs and melted cheddar get wrapped in warm, chewy naan for a handheld breakfast that’s both comforting and convenient. The sour cream adds a cool tang that balances the richness, while the naan’s slight char gives a nice textural contrast. Try drizzling with hot sauce or serving with fresh fruit on the side for a complete morning meal.
