Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Use a whisk or fork to gently beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined, but avoid over-mixing.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnishing.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center. Repeat this motion continuously, creating soft folds.
Cook the eggs slowly over low heat, stirring regularly until they are just set but still slightly creamy and glossy. This should take about 5–6 minutes.
Immediately remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to perfection.
Plate the scrambled eggs and sprinkle them with the fresh chives for a touch of brightness and flavor.
Serve immediately with toasted bread, avocado, or your choice of side.
