Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the large eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until well combined and the yolks and whites are completely smooth.
Add the heavy cream to the eggs and whisk again to incorporate. This will ensure a silky texture for the scramble.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside for garnish.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely without browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the skillet, folding them over themselves. Continue this process, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow into the skillet to cook.
Cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently and continuously to achieve soft, creamy curds. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set; they will continue cooking from residual heat.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste, and gently fold to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Plate the scrambled eggs immediately and garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve warm with toast or your favorite sides.
