Method

Method quantities describe the original 2-serving batch. Use the ingredient list scaled by 2×. Keep temperatures unchanged; check pan capacity and doneness.

  1. 1.PREP. Crack the 6 eggs into a bowl and set aside. Chop the steak and chile into small pieces.
  2. 2.WARM THE STEAK. Lightly spray a skillet and warm the steak and chile over medium heat. The steak is already cooked, so you're just heating it through.
  3. 3.RINSE THE CHEESE. Rinse the fat-free shredded cheddar in a fine-mesh strainer and drain it well. Washing off some of the coating helped this batch melt better for me.
  4. 4.SCRAMBLE. Add the eggs and rinsed cheese to the skillet, season with a few pinches of seasoning salt, and stir until the eggs are just set.
  5. 5.DIVIDE. Split evenly between two bowls and serve hot.

Estimated nutrition

~350 cal | ~40g protein.

About 350 calories and 40g protein per bowl. This recipe divides one skillet — 6 large eggs, 4.5 oz fully cooked steak, and 2 oz fat-free cheddar — evenly between two bowls; the full batch runs about 695 calories and 81g protein, and the per-bowl numbers are rounded. Flagged estimated and label-based: it assumes standard large eggs, excludes the cooking spray, and branded steak and cheese macros vary by SKU — recheck your packages when exact tracking matters. Not a low-sodium breakfast: the seasoned steak, cheese, and seasoning salt add up.

Brands I use

Kraft Fat-Free Shredded Cheddar
2 oz, rinsed and drained
Adds cheddar flavor and protein with no fat. I rinse and drain it first — washing off some of the anti-caking coating helped this batch melt better for me.
Fully cooked steak
4.5 oz, thinly sliced
Any pre-cooked, thinly sliced steak works — leftover steak, pre-cooked strips, or deli-style. It only needs warming through.
