Nothing goes better with scrambled eggs than cheese. Whisk up some eggs adding shredded cheese and chopped ham to the mixture. Cook up these soft, cheesy curds on the stovetop and enjoy with toast for a quick breakfast or brunch.
Eggs and cheese. What else could you want?

Who doesn’t love scrambled eggs? They’re creamy and buttery and a great part of any breakfast of champions. American cheese and cream cheese are great additions to your scrambled eggs since they melts easily and will double the creaminess. Talk about velvet in your mouth.
Here is a solid recipe for some gr8 scrambled eggs.
First things first, learn how to get that perfect yolk for all of the above here.
Fried on a salad:
Hello protein! Put a sunny side up egg on top of your salad and add some goat cheese or parmesan for a delicious (and dare I say healthy?) meal. Both cheeses will add MAJOR flavor to your egg dish.
Fried on avo toast:
For your avocado toast I would suggest adding goat cheese or feta just to double the #hipsterness of your plate. The creaminess of either cheese will go along with the texture of the avocado to make your mouth extra happy.
Bacon egg and cheese:
Ugh. My favorite. I love cheddar or provolone on the salty goodness of this wonderful combination of foods.
Omelettes:

Ooooooh. Were getting fancy. Honestly omelettes are a blank canvas. Anything can work! When you’re picking cheese for your omelets try to go with a theme for your toppings. I love getting swiss along with ham and sautéed onions.
For a tex-mex meal try chopped up peppers and chorizo with pepperjack for some heat. If youre trying to get SUPER fancy, try some brie with ham and sautéed mushrooms and your life will forever change.
Like omelettes, a quiche or a frittata (which is basically a quiche without a crust), is a blank canvas. Anything goes. One of my favorites is sautéed mushrooms and onions with some bacon and parmesan and swiss cheese. Another yummy one is gruyere with sautéed spinach. Whatever you decide to put in this dish Im sure will taste ahhmazing.
