Stir in rice, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to low.
Cook rice, undisturbed, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork, then transfer to a large bowl and stir in cheese, butter, scallions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until cheese is melted.
Cool, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, then stir in eggs until combined well.
