Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
- 2 slices crusty bread or toast (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk gently to incorporate, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Place a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt slowly and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Continue stirring the eggs over low heat until they start to thicken and form soft curds. Be patient, as cooking the eggs gently is key to achieving a creamy texture.
Once the eggs are just set but still slightly soft and glossy, remove the skillet from the heat. They will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
Gently fold in the chopped chives, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Serve the creamy scrambled eggs immediately, either on their own or atop slices of crusty bread or toast. Garnish with the reserved chives for a finishing touch.
