Pro Tips

1. Cheese Integration For an even creamier texture, add half the cheese when you first pour in the eggs, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top just before the eggs finish cooking. This ensures some cheese melts into the eggs while the rest gives a nice, melted finish on top.

2. Texture Variation To add a slight crunch, consider adding diced bell peppers or finely chopped jalapeños along with the onions. This will enhance both flavor and texture.

3. Smoky Flavor Boost For a deeper flavor, consider using roasted green chilies. If using canned, look for fire-roasted options. You can also lightly smoke the green chilies yourself if you have access to a grill or a gas flame.

4. Heat Control If you prefer a milder dish, use mild green chilies, and if you enjoy heat, choose a hotter variety. You can also keep a few seeds from fresh chilies to intensify the spice.

5. Herb Infusion Infuse flavor early by adding a sprig of cilantro or a slice of green onion to the butter as it melts, removing it before adding the onions. This imparts a subtle, aromatic flavor to your base.
