Wisconsin-style Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

In this adaptation, we have transformed the traditional Hungarian Búbos rántotta into a Wisconsin-style dish by incorporating a variety of Wisconsin cheeses. The original dish typically uses Hungarian sheep cheese and incorporates vegetables like tomatoes and bell peppers. However, in this recipe, we have replaced those ingredients with a blend of Wisconsin cheeses, which adds a distinct creamy and cheesy flavor profile that is characteristic of Wisconsin cuisine.
