Instructions
  1. Whisk eggs together with cooked cornmeal. Add in the cheese, cilantro, green onions, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. When the butter is sizzling, pour in the egg mixture. Cover and cook gently. The goal is for the top to be cooked before the bottom burns. Gentle heat is your answer.
  3. Sprinkle with cheese and let melt. Cover again if you need to. Serve with green onions and cilantro.
