🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until combined and slightly frothy.

2. Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.

3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely, coating the pan.

4. Once the butter has melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20–30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

5. Using a spatula, gently move the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft folds. Continue this process until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly creamy. Do not overcook; the eggs should be tender and custardy.

6. Remove the skillet from heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates to stop the cooking process.

7. Garnish with chopped chives and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a burst of color and added flavor.

8. Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful twist on scrambled eggs!
