Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter has melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center of the pan as they cook. Continue this process, ensuring the eggs scramble evenly and smoothly.
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Fold the eggs gently, incorporating the melting cheese, and continue cooking until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the scramble to plates and sprinkle with chopped chives, if using, for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Egg and Cheese Scramble!
