Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 4 slices toast or croissant (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk again until well-mixed.
Set a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan.
Continue to cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently and frequently, until they are just set but still slightly runny. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese over the eggs, folding gently to melt the cheese into the eggs.
Add the red pepper flakes (if using) and half of the chopped green onion. Stir to combine, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to plates. Garnish with the remaining green onion and fresh parsley.
Serve warm with toast or a flaky croissant on the side, and enjoy the Christmas morning magic!
