Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again to combine thoroughly.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt completely but not brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds to begin setting slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, moving them slowly and continuously to create soft curds.
When the eggs are about 80% set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Fold the eggs gently a few more times to melt the cheese and finish cooking. Be careful not to overcook, as the eggs should remain creamy and soft.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
