Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them together until uniformly combined and slightly frothy.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the beaten eggs, then stir to mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Place a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan over low heat and add the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted and begins to gently foam, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Using a heatproof spatula, stir the eggs slowly and continuously in a figure-eight pattern, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
Continue cooking the eggs on low heat, stirring frequently, until they are just set but still slightly runny and creamy. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Avoid rushing by increasing the heat, as low heat ensures the eggs stay tender and moist.
Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly creamy, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
If desired, garnish the scrambled eggs with chopped chives just before serving.
Serve immediately while warm, either on their own or paired with toast, breakfast meats, or side dishes of your choice.
