Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream and whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy (about 1 minute).
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper and gently mix again to incorporate.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and evenly coat the pan, but avoid letting it brown.
Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to its lowest setting and pour in the egg mixture.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight motion, pushing the edges toward the center as they begin to set.
Cook the eggs slowly, stirring frequently, until they reach your desired level of doneness. For creamy scrambled eggs, aim for soft, custard-like curds (about 3–5 minutes).
Immediately remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking and plate the scrambled eggs.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and a touch of color.
Serve the scrambled eggs warm alongside your favorite breakfast sides like toast, bacon, or fresh fruit.
