Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the bottom of the skillet is evenly coated with melted butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed until they begin to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue this process, gently folding every few seconds, for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Continue to cook, slowly folding and stirring, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are creamy and fully cooked, approximately 1 to 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat, immediately transfer to serving plates, and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve hot.
