    Begin by dicing the onion and setting it aside.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute.

    3

    Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    4

    Add the beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until it is browned and cooked through.

    5

    While the beef is cooking, crack 6 eggs into a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and whisk until the eggs are fully combined.

    Once the beef is cooked, push the beef mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side and scramble them for about 3-4 minutes until they are just set.

    7

    Mix the beef and eggs together in the skillet.

    Turn off the heat, sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the mixture, and cover the skillet with a lid for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
